KeShawn Murphy added 16 points, Tahaad Pettiford had 11 and Kevin Overton scored 10 for the Tigers (13-7, 4-3 SEC), who won for the fourth time in five games.

Thomas Haugh recorded 27 points and 10 rebounds, Urban Klavzar scored 12 and Rueben Chinyelu added 10, though his seven rebounds left him short of what would have been his fifth consecutive double-double, for the Gators (14-6, 5-2).

Haugh’s three-point play with 1:11 left ended a nearly eight-minute field-goal drought for the Gators, who got no closer than five points after that.

Hall scored the Tigers’ first 10 points, Pettiford made a 3-pointer for the first points by another Auburn player and added a layup as Auburn raced to a 19-5 lead.

Boogie Fland made the Gators’ first field goal in nearly three minutes and turned it into a three-point play and Klavzar and Xaivian Lee each made a 3-pointer to pull Florida within 21-18.

Murphy made a layup and Hall followed with eight points during a 10-1 run that expanded the lead to 12 points. Haugh made a 3-pointer for the Gators, but the Tigers pushed the lead to 35-22.
