Auburn 69, Georgia 68: KT Harrell scored 21 points, including a clutch 3-pointer in the final minute, as the visiting Tigers stormed back to stun the Bulldogs.

K.C. Ross-Miller added 17 points for Auburn (12-13, 4-8 SEC), which has won two straight on the road after dropping its previous seven. Jordon Granger collected eight points and six rebounds before leaving the game in the second half with a lower leg injury while Malcolm Canada also had eight points for the Tigers.

Kenny Gaines led the way with 18 points and Charles Mann had 14 for Georgia (16-8, 7-5), which blew a nine-point lead with 5:04 remaining. Marcus Thornton and Cameron Forte each tallied nine points for the Bulldogs, who couldn't overcome 37.7 percent shooting.

Antoine Mason buried a 3-pointer to put Auburn on top 40-35 before Gaines scored six straight points to ignite a 9-0 run to help Georgia pull ahead by six with nine minutes to go. The Bulldogs led 57-48 before Ross-Miller knocked down a jumper to trim the deficit to one and Harrell drilled a triple to put the Tigers on top 65-63 with 59 seconds left, and the Tigers could only breathe a sigh of relief when Nemanja Djurisic's potential game-winning triple missed the mark with 1.8 seconds remaining.

Auburn jumped in front 12-4 before Gaines drained a 3-pointer to end a field-goal drought of over six minutes to pull Georgia within four. Forte sparked a 9-0 burst to give the Bulldogs their first lead at 25-22 before Harrell beat the buzzer with a jumper to put the Tigers ahead 29-28 at halftime despite shooting 34.6 percent from the floor.

GAME NOTEBOOK:
Auburn went 7-of-17 from 3-point range while Georgia finished 4-of-19. … Mason rejoined the Tigers after spending the last three days with his ailing father - former New York Knick Anthony Mason - and chipped in with nine points. … The Bulldogs went 18-of-21 from the free-throw line.
