AUBURN -- Bruce Pearl didn't waste any time when he walked into the postgame press conference following No. 2 Auburn's 100-59 win over Georgia State. "Start with Johni," he said, as All-American center Johni Broome injured his right shoulder less than three minutes into the game and never returned. He was seen with ice on his right shoulder and sitting on the bench later in the first half, and had a sling on his right arm after halftime. "Obviously his right shoulder kind of came out, came right back in. He did it a year ago, so he's had some experience with it. We'll take a look at it tomorrow and tell you more. We hope he's going to be OK," Pearl said. So, we wait. Even without Broome, Auburn scored 100 points and covered both the Vegas spreads and the projected computer analytics' spread.
