AUBURN, Ala. -- — Chaney Johnson had a career-high 26 points with eight rebounds and four assists as No. 2 Auburn beat Georgia State 100-59 on Tuesday night after losing center Johni Broome to a shoulder injury.

Broome, who entered the contest averaging 19.7 points and a Division I-leading 12.7 rebounds, left the game and went to the locker room with an arm injury just 2:17 into the game.

Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said after the game that Broome's right shoulder “kind of slipped out and came back.” Pearl said Broome would be checked out on Wednesday.

Chad Baker-Mazara scored 19 points, and Denver Jones added 17 for Auburn (10-1).

Nick McMullen had 15 points and 16 rebounds to lead Georgia State (4-7).
