Without Johni Broome, Auburn basketball still beat two ranked squads in its first week as the nation's No. 1. Here's where the Tigers stood in Monday's national rankings.

Auburn men’s basketball sits atop the AP top 25 for a second straight week. It comes after ranked wins over Mississippi State and Georgia, both without All-American center Johni Broome.

Tahaad Pettiford hit 5 of 7 shots from 3-point range, scoring 24 off the bench to help No. 1 Auburn escape No. 23 Georgia with a 70-68 win Saturday.

Georgia fought until the end in 68-70 loss to Auburn Saturday afternoon in Athens. After coming back from down 16 early, Georgia's comeback effort fell just short. This loss makes the Bulldogs 14-4 on the season and 2-3 in SEC play.

A surge in the last seven minutes of game time helped No. 23 Georgia nearly knock off No. 1 Auburn on Saturday. Ultimately, a missed tip shot at the buzzer saw the Tigers hang on for a 70-68 win and remain undefeated in SEC play.
