Men vs Winthrop

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Cardwell goes up HIGH for the block! Looks to have come down on the Winthrop players ankle but he's able to walk off on his own power.

24-15 with 7:10 left.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Westry commits the foul and Winthrop goes 1-2 from the line.

24-16 Auburn

Tre missed 3.

Cardwell with the BLOCK! But Westry turns it over and then commits the foul. 2 fouls in very limited minutes.

Nothing natural. I dont know what the outlook of our team is if this continues. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

And Westry immediately picks up his 3rd foul. He'll be sitting for awhile.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Another offensive board for Winthrop and a 2nd chance bucket.

24-18 Auburn

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Cardwell inside for the Dunk. His post moves looking better so far this season.

Another offensive board by Winthrop, though.

26-20 Auburn

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641]

Tre Donaldson is such a mainstay to me going forward. I think Wendell is a below average defender, and its wonderful to have that lockdown artist at the 1 spot. Love that kid so far 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

KD inside AND-1!! His first points in almost 3 full halves. Makes the FT!

29-20 Auburn

I'd think pretty poor in SEC play if things continued, but I'd also hope that CBP earns his pay check and manufactures something better than this freelance offense (that they've admittedly ran since I've started watching).

The defense is stifling and there's a ton of guys who look good around the rim when teams can't just sit in the paint and they don't settle for threes they have no business shooting. You should be able to create something that's competitive with that 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Flan with a foul and Winthrop is in the bonus with 4:16 left.

Missed the front end. Flan rebound. Flan missed 3 but Cardwell is there for another offensive board. Should have been called for an over the back but apparently Cardwell is the one that gets fouled.

29-20 Auburn 3:58 left at the media timeout.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

If our guards could learn to get our 5s involved every possession ... we'd be something special.

Broome: 8 points, 6 rebounds, 5 blocks, 2 steals.

Cardwell: 4 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Moore takes a shot in the face but seems to be okay. Makes both FTs.

31-20 Auburn

[AUApostle 7,648]

Need to extend the lead right now… Winthrop will probably improve their shooting percentage as the game goes on.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Cardwell checks in and immediately commits a foul. Bit on the head fake inside. Just his first of the night.

Winthrop makes 1-2.

31-21 Auburn

 

 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Green with the 3!!!

But Winthrop responds immediately with one of their own.

34-24 Auburn

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Dylan with the pass to Williams and the bucket.

Green rebound pass to KD for the THREE!!!

39-24 Auburn

"You don't think the earth is flat, do you" 

 

Very interesting line with no lead in by the play by play lol 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Winthrop with the layup. Williams hit the court and left them wide open in the paint.

39-26 Auburn

Jaylin misses the last second bucket. Not a great possesion as Green went for an alley-oop, WIlliams got the rebound but couldn't get it to fall. No need to attempt the oop with 5 seconds left.

39-26 Auburn at half.

[gravejd 3,267]

Still a terrible last possession 😀

But I’ll take a 13 point lead. Great game by Broome and nice to see westry in there. Westry looked pretty good running PG!

Some pushing and shoving on Jaylin last couple of possessions and no calls.

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641]

Bit too handsy at times but that comes with this roster. Defense is stifling and they apply just a nuts amount of pressure on the ball

He can't commit 3 fouls in 5 minutes. Needs to play better on the defense end but hopefully that'll get better with time.

Yeah noticed a couple of them. A couple of our guys have hit the deck and no calls. But didn't get a good look or even a replay so couldn't say what happened.

Bruce letting the refs have it…and told Jaylin to let the refs have it, too!

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Broome looks amazing. This was how I expected him to play against USF. Over half-way to a triple double. Hope it was just the ankle injury causing him problems.
