Men vs. Harvard - Game Thread

[jared52 4,354]

Wow, Harvard just want this one as evidenced by that offensive board and put back. Harris half effort is the embodiment of the effort today.

Dunans is down hurt. That doesn't look good.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Canty drives shot no good, Harris rebound and he's fouled. Dunans is down on the baseline (holding his knee)... 1 second remaining in the half.

[Tiger 8,818]

Omg dunans

[AUDub 11,137]

That looks bad.

[ClaytonAU 4,606]

It's a shame, but that looks like a hyper extension on the knee.

[jared52 4,354]

Yep, Canty came down on Dunans knee and he's being carried off. Don't want to speculate, but he's in all kinds of pain.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Dunans literally being carried off the floor. Hope its not as bad as it appears. Harris shooting 2.... 1st good. 2nd good. 40-29 and its HALFTIME.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

We're letting Harvard control tempo and that CANT happen. We've got to use the athleticism advantage and run!!

[jared52 4,354]

AU not out of it on the scoreboard, but AU has little answer for Harvard's offense. They move the ball and get shots which they are hitting at a pretty good click. They also rebound misses well. AU is standing around on offense waiting to see what someone else is going to do. Going to be interesting to see how the loss of Dunans affects the mood of the team. Right now lethargic and disinterested are the best description I can give.

Need a good Bruce talk at halftime and they can snap out of this though.

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Need Canty to score in second half.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Hopefully we'll come out clicking in the 2nd half.

[TigerBuc747 1]

Shots just aren't falling. We're hitting every part of the basket except the bottom of it.

And I have no idea why Waddell is getting so much playing time. He is literally nonexistent on offense. He just stands at the top of the key to set picks, Bruce won't let him dribble it let alone shoot. And on defense his only job is to take charges which is still only a 50/50 call. Whenever he's on the court we're playing 4-on-5.

[TexasTiger 12,828]

Harvard is a very well-coached team.

[WarTiger 3,901]

2nd half about to get underway. Let's go Tigers...

[WarTiger 3,901]

Brown with a THREE.. 4032.

[WarTiger 3,901]

finally, Auburn able to run... Canty to bowers. 43-34

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Take it at Zena he's got 3 fouls

[Tiger 8,818]

#35s length is giving Canty tons of problems

[mustache eagle 2,397]

No rebounding. 4 guys go backwards when the shot goes up and the Harvard guy still runs the floor for the layup. Smh

[WarTiger 3,901]

Canty with a drive and pass to Spencer and Spencer is fouled. Shooting 2. 1st good. 2nd free throw violation on Auburn. 45-35

[jared52 4,354]

Harvard content to let Canty drive and dish to bigs who can't hit a layup.

Big oop there to cut it to 8 though, nice.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Spencer hustles back and gets a steal...Canty with a lob pass from the backcourt and Bowers JAMS it home.. 45-37

[Tiger 8,818]

I really like Horace Spencer's ceiling. Especially like his game on D. If he can refine his offensive skill and add a short jumper he'd be a boss for us

[jared52 4,354]

Story of the game right there. AU misses wide open 3 that would cut it to 5, Harvard comes down and hits their 3 pointer. Just no runs for AU. And more missed FTs.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Bowers drives and is fouled. shooting 2. 1st no good. 2nd no good...Granger had the rebound position and couldn't handle it. 48-37
