Not being able to finish is just maddening.

Somebody poke that guy in the eye or something

[WarTiger 3,913]

inside of 1 minute Auburn ball....

[WarTiger 3,913]

Canty with a THREE.... 72-68. Bowers gets a rebound, feeds a head to canty, canty lobs it for bowers and he JAMS it home. mercer gets a 3..74-71 with 12.6 seconds to play...

Celebrating a bit early

[Jgarrett7 957]

Good sequence there. Need to hit these free throws

[WarTiger 3,913]

Canty fouled on the inbounds. shooting 2. 12 seconds to play. 1st good. 2nd good. 76-71 Auburn.

[AUDub 11,158]

Way to finish. Mercer hung in hard.

[autigeremt 6,657]

That was a nice exchange to put some distance between us and Mercer. Now that's how you finish! Great game by Mercer.

Good win!

[WarTiger 3,913]

Bowers long rebound takes it the length of the floor and JAMS it home just before the buzzer. FINAL Auburn wins 78-71. Great game Tigers. WAR EAGLE!!!

Nice win!

[autigeremt 6,657]

Xavier will be a tough challenge. Hope Canty can rest that ankle.

[SCTiger2011 1,282]

Much needed bounce back win. Withstood their hot hand. Thought that kid was playing on easy mode for a good bit. War Damn Eagle!

[FoundationEagle 637]

Canty may be superhuman. Hope his ankle is ok after it swells tonight. Need him badly in the next game (and all of them for that matter)

Arena was a bit ho hum until the last minute. Then it was fun.

We still need to give the same effort on defense that we do on offense. Also our celebrations are running too close to giving up free plays, we need a higher basketball iq that we showed tonight

[mustache eagle 2,410]

Agreed ... Patted ourselves on the back a touch to much. Tsd looked good the first half. After he missed a couple shots in the second half, he came out and did not go back in.

Had expected some canty at the 2 with tsd at point but that didn't happen. Not having Lang out there hurt. He not only provides an outside shot but has a little more length than brown and can provide some rebounding.

Enjoyed the game. Didn't feel like our best but was still a nice win over a solid team. Good job auburn!

Their last basket wasn't fully contested-- our guys acted like it was over and it was still very possible to lose. Bruce needs to address that before it bites us.

Bruce just said TSD can only play 10-12 minutes a game right now.

Great finish. You just feel like Canty is going to make that 3 when he is setting up that shot. He is a baller. Then throwing up the oop. It was fun and a high quality win.

[Proud Tiger 4,261]

It was an exciting game to watch. Several players came to the front entrance of the arena and mixed with the crowd as they exited. Good gesture.

[ClaytonAU 4,606]

Good W.
