SLU gets a layup but only 16.5 left.

SLU takes their last time out.

64-60 Auburn

[mustache eagle 2,397]

Why did they not foul us?  Glad they didn’t 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Just get the ball in bounds and don't get trapped.

Inbound to KD and he's trapped. Bruce calls a timeout, though. Bad inbound

Jaylin just threw the ball out of bounds. Wow. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

SMH Jaylin Williams turns it over on the pass inbound. Just awful, awful, awful.

[tgrogan21 6,198]

SLU miss 3, Green rebound and is fouled.

Just make your FTs and it's over.

9.2 seconds left.

Misses the first. Come on, Green!

Makes the 2nd.

65-60 Auburn

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Another missed 3, Williams rebound. GAME!

Auburn wins 65-60!

Thanks to @tgrogan21 as usual. 43 in a row guys, that can’t always be easy lol. 

[Pedaler 1,001]

Fantastic finish! Whew

[mustache eagle 2,397]

Wow what a crazy game

glad SLU missed their freebies

SLU is always a good team. They're 46 in kenpom and the best team we've faced all season. Not really a wake-up call, just two good teams going at one another.

Well I’m happy, but this team has a lot of work to do. Good win regardless.

This is a good win. Saint Louis is a very good team and they always are. This team doesn't quit and win even when we're not playing great. I do think they're starting to realize they can't shoot 20+ 3s every game.

12-2 run to finish the game. War Eagle

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Broome was very close to a triple-double. 11 points, 8 rebounds, 8 blocks.

Flan with 7 points, 10 rebounds.

And Wen just steadily being the best player on the team. 21 points, 4 rebounds

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Can we all just shout and give love to Derick Hall. He was in Neville Arena almost as much as the basketball team. Don't know if we'll ever find another guy as involved as Hall and Cardwell in other sports.

After that game I’ll be rooting for SLU.  Not just for rankings but because they were a likable group and it was a fun game.

also … from you bball peeps.  I asked earlier… have we ever switched off the ball like we did early in the game?  It seemed “pronounced “ to me.  Am I crazy?  We also stopped doing it.

Nice to see the team play better after that stinker against NorthWestern. I really like how Jaylin looks with the ball down low. He has some nice touch and moves down there. Still waiting for Broome to get fully comfortable. Worried about the young guys coming along. Traore and Westry did not play a whole bunch in this one after not seeing much time against NW either. KD and Greene both played really well today. 

[81spacetiger 157]

so many SLU missed FTs, especially down the stretch; its why we won.  

Games will be tough when we cannot shoot 3's.  Nice to know we can win them if we don't have the 3 ball.

On to the next game.

I’m not sure we really played any better quite frankly. We had the run at the end combined with their uncharacteristic misses free throws. D was pretty good but we are really struggling on O.

Well we scored more than 43 pts so it was an improvement. Definitely not saying we don’t need to improve more. We did catch a break with them missing so many free throws. And an at home game against St Louis should not be that close. But I like the scrappiness of this team. They fight and it’s still early in the season so the offense can get figured out. We have some great competition coming up to find out if it will. I’m happy to be 6-0 right now even if we aren’t playing great on offense.

Just a small correction, we're 7-0.

This team will go as far as it's defense takes it.
