Nothing unexpected in SEC play yesterday.

Led by 20 off the bench from Hardrick, Georgia beat Auburn. Auburn fell to 4-8 in conference play. "I don't feel like teams in the SEC are better than us," said Tigers guard Whitney Boddie. "We just don't finish games. I don't know if it's a poise or composure thing." With two losses this week, Auburn's NCAA hopes may have flamed out, RPI nothwithstanding.

Vandy had no trouble with South Carolina. "Vanderbilt's execution is the best I think I've seen in college women's basketball," said Gamecocks coach Susan Walvius. Caroline Williams had a career-high 26 points, mostly from outside.

In the race for the cellar, Alabama won by losing to Florida.

Ole Miss beat Miss State in OT. Alexis Rack and Armintie Price had a nasty, bloody, head-to-head collision in the second half. Both ended up ok; Price won the game with a catch-and-shoot in OT.

She also became just the fifth player to amass 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, 300 assists, and 300 steals. (Others: Miller, Holdsclaw, Catchings, and Young.)
