Auburn Cruises Past South Carolina, Faces Mississippi State Next
The Auburn Tigers continued their recent dominance over the South Carolina Gamecocks with a resounding 86-55 victory in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament on Friday. The win propelled Bruce Pearl’s squad into the semifinals, where they will face a familiar foe in the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Auburn’s balanced offensive attack was on full display, with all ten players in the main rotation contributing to the scoring effort. Johni Broome led the way with 18 points, while the Tigers’ stifling defense held South Carolina to under 30% shooting from the field, a testament to their commitment on the defensive end.
