Auburn eliminates Gators from SEC Tournament off Harper’s 20 points

Auburn guard Jared Harper was isolated on the upper left side of the three-point line with Jalen Hudson guarding him.

Hudson gave him enough space to take a step forward and shoot. Harper gave Auburn a 64-60 lead with 12 seconds left.

Hudson made a quick layup to put Florida down by two with 7.5 seconds, forcing UF to have to foul Harper. He made just one free throw, giving the Gators a chance to tie the game.

Then, controversy ensued.

Forward Keyontae Johnson passed the ball to guard Andrew Nembhard off the inbounds, who was swamped by three Auburn players just past half court.
