Johni Broome missed Auburn's first game this year against the Georgia Bulldogs, but he made up for it in their second meeting.

Johni Broome scored a season-high 31 points and added 14 rebounds as No. 1 Auburn defeated Georgia 82-70 on Saturday. For the second straight game, Auburn (25-2, 13-1 SEC) found itself in a tight contest against an unranked opponent before pulling away in the final minutes.

Two days after Auburn launched a website for Johni Broome’s National Player of the Year campaign, the Tigers' leading scorer proved again that it’s his award to lose.
