“They really try to pressure the ball,” Mack said. “That is really the main thing for them. They try to rattle you by getting all up in your face.“It was just a tough day at the office for us, that’s for sure,” South Carolina coach Lamont Paris said. “Auburn’s got a really good team. They are aggressive. They feed off of energy and momentum.
“They played well. They competed really hard. Our guys competed. They just didn’t play well. At this time of the year, that means they make you go home.”Auburn: The Tigers dominated in the paint, outscoring South Carolina 42-22, as well as on points off turnovers with a 17-2 edge. “Pregame Coach said, inside-out,” Broome said. “That’s what he always preaches. Get inside and they will play one-on-one the whole game. When you’ve got our guys, our front line, scoring down there it is kind of hard for the other team.”Auburn split the season series with Mississippi State with each team winning on its home court. The Tigers won 78-63 on March 2.
