Men vs. Xavier - game thread

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641]

How well is Pearl coached teams usually at when it comes to shooting the 3? Because Auburn has been atrocious at shooting the three outside of CC, and that disappeared after the first half

[WarTiger 3,896]

3:01 to play. Auburn down 31-21

[AU64 10,122]

Still no shooters....did not realize that Mason's stats were so poor as a shooter....mostly a slasher....like Denton last year.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Harrell drives to the basket, misses bu tReed tips it in. 31-23

[Lowrider 0]

Do AU fans even realize the talent difference between these two teams right now. It's a mismatch

[WarTiger 3,896]

Harrell with a jumper. 35-25

[WarTiger 3,896]

Halftime. Auburn trails 38-25. Cold shooting behind the arc hurt us in the first half.

[InfernoOrangeSS 321]

I hope Auburn comes out on fire. This is a stiff test for us. I was not expecting a win when I saw it on the schedule.

I have to work tonight, so I won't get to see this one.

War Eagle!!

[WarTiger 3,896]

Hopefully we can shoot better in the 2nd half. Bowers with 3 fouls already is a big issue for us. Xavier is bigger than us at every position and its showing. Not shooting well from 3 point range in the first half is the main cause for being down 13 right now though.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Granger opens the 2nd half with a THREE. 38-28

[Guest jojo1515]

Only chance to pull out a win is to play more disciplined defense and start hitting 3s. Rebounding is also killing us.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Xavier throws it out of bounds on the baseline. Auburn ball.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Shamsid-Deen drives to the baset and lays it in and injures his right shoulder it appears. 38-30

[WarTiger 3,896]

Harrell for THREE. 42-33

Mason with a ...not sure what that was but it went in.. 42-35.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Only chance to pull out a win is to play more disciplined defense and start hitting 3s. Rebounding is also killing us.

well we are only out rebounded at this point 21-16...I wouldn't say that is killing us...

[WarTiger 3,896]

47-35 Auburn trails. Gotta take better care of the basketball

[WarTiger 3,896]

Harrell drives to the basket and gets a foul called. Not a shooting foul apparently....no a turnover on the in bounds..

[AU64 10,122]

outmanned but gonna be that way a lot this season.....but playing hard....crowd kinda quiet ....

[WarTiger 3,896]

Canada gets a defensive rebound and takes it down the floor to the basket, it counts and the foul. shooting 1. no good. 47-37

[WarTiger 3,896]

Mason gets fouled and will shoot 2.. 1st good. 2nd no good. 49-38

[WarTiger 3,896]

Bowers inside. 52-40

So they are getting over 30 percent more rebounds than us....definitely not helping.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Again Canada rebounds on the defensive end, takes it down the floor, scores and the foul. shooting 1. ft good. 52-43 Shamsid-Deen back on the floor.

[WarTiger 3,896]

56-43.. Bowers back on the floor

[WarTiger 3,896]

Bowers gets the basket inside and the foul. shooting 1. ft no good. 56-45
