ATHENS — Georgia’s attempt to get back on track was derailed by Auburn on Wednesday night, the Tigers proving too big of an obstacle to overcome.

Auburn (7-6, 1-4 SEC) scored a 95-77 victory over the Bulldogs on Wednesday night at Stegeman Coliseum, notching its first conference win of the season while keeping Georgia winless in league play (7-4, 0-4).
