If there were any doubts about how Johni Broome was doing, they were effectively wiped away against South Carolina.
Broome, who had logged 10 combined points the past two games, was the highlight of No. 16 Auburn’s performance Saturday. The center had 27 points while posting a 12-of-17 shooting line and grabbing 11 rebounds in a 81-66 win against the Gamecocks.

We all recognize, though, that the schedule toughens starting next week.” Pearl highlighted the play of Allen Flanigan on the defensive end, saying his night was the kind that would go “tremendously unnoticed.”
As a team, Auburn had yet to log such an efficient scoring effort in SEC play. Its 30-of-60 day was its best mark against conference foes. It generated points with high-percentage looks, scoring 46 of its 81 points in the paint. It shot 66.7% on dunks and layups.
