What are the biggest things to take away from the game?
Auburn got out-rebounded again
For the second game in a row, the Tigers were out-rebounded by their opponent.
Both teams had 39 rebounds, but Florida had a 13-6 advantage on the offensive side, but Auburn had a 33-26 advantage on the defensive side.
Second-chance points were a factor as well...
Fouls plagued Auburn
The Tigers struggled to stay out of foul trouble.
With 15 minutes left in the game, Chad Baker-Mazara, Chaney Johnson and Jaylin Williams each had three fouls.
Florida was capitalizing on these fouls as well, shooting 18-25 from the free-throw line. The Gators were also in the bonus at the 13:05 mark of the second half.
Auburn will need to avoid a fouling performance like that in its NCAA Tournament games or that could be the thing that sends it home.
Auburn shared the load offensively
The Tigers once again had a lot of contributors on the offensive end.
Johni Broome led Auburn in scoring with 19 points, but two other Tigers posted double figures and six others scored more than five points.
Depth has been one of Auburn's biggest strengths this season and that was proven to be true once again today.
