SEC Basketball standings ahead of conference play
The No. 23 Auburn Tigers closed the nonconference slate on a high note Wednesday, by crushing the Washington Huskies on their home floor, 84-61 at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.
Jaylin Williams and Johni Broome were stellar in the win, scoring 18 points and securing eight rebounds. The Tigers put together a solid second half by outscoring the Huskies, 53-38 in the final 20 minutes.
The game was a sigh of relief from Auburn’s previous game, where they fell to USC, 74-71, Sunday in Los Angeles. The Tigers could not overcome a first half that saw them shoot just 36% from the field.
Auburn ended the pre-SEC slate with a 10-2 record, falling only to USC and Memphis away from Neville Arena. The Tigers will open conference play on Wednesday, Dec. 28 against the Florida Gators.
The Gators have faced a challenging schedule so far this season, taking losses to Oklahoma, UConn, and West Virginia in their nonconference slate.
