The No. 14 Auburn Tigers return to action today to take on the Georgia Bulldogs on the road inside Stegman Coliseum.
Auburn fell to Kentucky in its last outing and will look to get back on track. Georgia picked up a win over Vanderbilt on Wednesday night to snap a six-game losing streak.
What are three things to watch for during the game?
Will Auburn's shooting improve from its last game?
Auburn had a bad day against Kentucky in a lot of categories, but it particularly struggled to shoot the ball.
The Tigers shot 30.9% from the floor and 18.2% from beyond the arc.
Auburn will be hoping to see these numbers improve drastically.
Which Georgia guard will step up?
The Bulldogs have three players averaging more than 10 points per game, all of which are guards.
Jabri Abdur-Rahim and Noah Thommason co-lead the team in scoring with 12.7 points per game, RJ Melendez follows closely with 10.2 per game.
Each of these guys has stepped up in games this season and led Georgia's offense.
Which Auburn forward will step up in Jaylin Williams' absence?
Star Auburn forward Jaylin Williams suffered a knee injury against Kentucky that will sideline him for a period of time.
Williams is Auburn's second-highest scorer and one of the team's biggest producers overall.
The Tigers will need to see its other forwards, including Dylan Cardwell and Chad Baker-Mazara take on a bigger role to help Johni Broome.
Tipoff is set for 5 p.m. CT. The television broadcast can be found on SEC Network, and the Auburn Sports Network broadcast can be streamed anywhere on the Auburn Athletics app.
