Auburn basketball struggled against South Carolina on Saturday, and it lost All-American Johni Broome early in the second half. That didn't matter, however, as the Tigers secured their third victory of SEC play.

It was one thing to be trailing South Carolina at the half, and another to lose Johni Broome early in the second half. But Auburn basketball overcame both to beat the Gamecocks. Here's how it did it.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Johni Broome suffered a “significant sprain” of his left ankle in No. 2 Auburn’s win over South Carolina on Saturday, and Tigers coach Bruce Pearl said his team’s leading scorer will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury.
