No. 1 Auburn searches for shooting touch vs. Georgia

Fresh off a scare against Arkansas, No. 1 Auburn looks to inch closer to a Southeastern Conference regular-season title on Saturday when it hosts reeling Georgia. Auburn (24-2, 12-1 SEC) leads both No. 2 Florida and No. 4 Alabama by two games atop the league standings. The Tigers are in search of their fifth SEC regular-season crown and their second No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament (since seeding began in 1978). Those accomplishments were far from the team's mind on Wednesday, when Auburn trailed Arkansas by a point with less than three minutes to go at home. The top-ranked Tigers finished the game on a 10-2 run, escaping with a 67-60 victory.
