Johni Broome has officially been ruled out for Auburn against the Georgia Bulldogs. The No. 23 Georgia Bulldogs are set to take on No. 1 Auburn in Athens on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers are currently undefeated in conference play while Georgia dropped their second game earlier this week on the road against Tennessee.

Auburn center Johni Broome will not play against Georgia on Saturday, according to the SEC injury report. Broome was also unavailable in Auburn’s 88-66 win over Mississippi State on Tuesday. Broome suffered the injury in the second half of Auburn’s 66-63 win over South Carolina on Jan.

Auburn basketball came into the week with two ranked matchups and its best player, Johni Broome, sidelined by injury. Still, it got two more wins over ranked opponents. Here's how.

Five Auburn players scored in double figures and the host Tigers, the top-ranked team in the nation, survived their first test without their best player, Johni Broome, prevailing 88-66 over No. 15 Mississippi State on Tuesday.

Auburn was fine, though. Even though the Tigers had two games against ranked opponents — one at home, one on the road — and were without their best player (Johni Broome), they still completed a 2-0 week.
