Men vs. Mercer - Game Thread

[WarTiger 3,901]

Wiley fouled and will shoot 1 and 1.   Auburn already in the bonus with 12:27 to play.   FT good.  Bonus no good..   Auburn trailing 50-49.

[jared52 4,354]

Just one of those games where we are reminded that AU is a bunch of freshman. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Auburn gets a steal on the baseline inbounds pass and Johnson is fouled.  Shooting 1 and 1.  FT good.  Bonus good.  Auburn leads 51-50 and is still in a full court press

[WarTiger 3,901]

Lang pushed from behind on the defensive end getting a rebound and will shoot 1 and 1.   FT good.  2nd good.  Auburn leads 53-50

[jared52 4,354]

Liked what I've seen from Wiley. It's clear he's getting attention when he's on the floor. Looks more athletic than the last time I saw him play as well. Should be a good one.

College basketball is tough to watch at times, I hate all the stoppages. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Wiley offensive rebound and he's fouled on the shot attempt.  1st good.  2nd no good.    Hustle by Ronnie Johnson to save the ball going out of bounds, pass to Dunans and he lays it in.  56-52. 

[jared52 4,354]

Ronnie Johnson is a gift to this young team. Love his hustle. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Dunans with a THREE.... 59-55

[WarTiger 3,901]

Smith spins to drive baseline and is fouled.   Smith shooting 2..  double bonus.  1st good.  2nd good.  61-55 Auburn.  Auburn pressing and gets a trap in the corner and forces a timeout.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Auburn leads 61-58. 

[Tiger 8,822]

ATTACK THE MIDDLE OF THE ZONE OMG....

[WarTiger 3,901]

7:19 to play and we are tied 61-61.

[jared52 4,354]

Danjel has been absent tonight. As has defense. AU just chafing people around the defensive end and leaving shooters open. Can't be how Bruce is teaching them to defend. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Let's go Auburn. 

[NoALtiger 3,854]

I haven't looked at the stats but it sure does seem Mercer has had a lot of 2nd a even third shots. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Heron drives, fouled and it counts.  shooting 1. FT good.  Auburn leads 64-63.  6:21 to play

[Tiger 8,822]

They don't have anyone that can guard DP or Heron when they get it in the soft spot of the zone. Shades of Marquis vs Syracuse 

[jared52 4,354]

Got to say, these refs are just awful. Foul on Lang was on a guy who was out of bounds with the ball. Then Mercer has a guy hurt laying in the lane and they let play continue?

Only positive I've seen in this game.  We have played very poorly all over the court. Our defense and rebounding have been astonishingly awful, as well as our shot selection and composure. If we win this game, it will be on talent alone.  Must be a let down game after the huge win.  Sure hope we pull this one out as a loss here could severely damage our post season chances.

SMH can you teach rebounding effort?

[WarTiger 3,901]

All he did was tip the ball.  reaching in is NOT a foul. That was a clean steal...

[WarTiger 3,901]

Heron fouled on the defensive end will shoot 2.   1st no good.  2nd no good.  64-64

I know you don't care for complaining about refs, but these guys are really bad today. 

[boisnumber1 2,818]

Just not playing well at all. Sleepwalking. But man these refs are absolute garbage.
