Men vs. Tennessee - game thread

Great call on the back screen there. Offensive player has to give the defensive player a step when screening from behind. Great call. Granger with a THREE. 55-46 Tigers.

Keim playing good minutes and playing well. Almost on the three but bad transition defense there. Got lucky not giving up the three point play. Need him to free Canty to play the 2.

UT finally misses a FT.

[jared52 4,354]

Another AU turnover. FTs, turnovers, and UT offensive rebounds are the reason UT is in this.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Spencer drives gets fouled and shot counts. ft no good. 57-51 Auburn.

[jared52 4,354]

Spencer with one good play, then 3 bad ones to include his 4th foul with 9:14 to go.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Keim giving Auburn really good minutes and doing very well. UT in bonus rest of the way. 9 minutes to play. 57-51

[WarTiger 3,901]

Keim witha shot to beat the shot clock, no good but bowers rebounds and scores. 59-53

[jared52 4,354]

Wow, good play by Bowers at the buzzer, then NO ONE cares to get back an UT with an easy 2.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Harris transition layup. 61-53 Tigers. Crowd is loud....

[jared52 4,354]

Ball goes RIGHT TO AU on the missed UT 3. Neither AU player ready and they tip it to UT for an easy 2. This team is so close, yet so very far from being good.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Brown drives and gets fouled. shooting 2 after the media timeout.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Brown shooting 2....1st Good. 2nd good. 63-55 Auburn.

[wareagleguy 1,393]

Need good D down the stretch

[WarTiger 3,901]

Bowers inside and he's fouled. shooting 2. 1st no good. 2nd no good. 63-55 still

[jared52 4,354]

FTs...SMH

[WarTiger 3,901]

Canty with a THREE...66-57. Bowers runs the floor and lays it up. 68-59

[jared52 4,354]

Bowers with a good move then everyone walks back so UT gets an easy 2. Awful transition D. So close, so far.

[wareagleguy 1,393]

2nd time to step on the line

[TexasTiger 12,858]

2nd time to step on the line

What's up with that?

[WarTiger 3,901]

Brown with a THREE.. 71-65 (ut gets a three at the other end)

[jared52 4,354]

Canty his a contested 3, the disinterested AU D give UT un uncontested 3. Defense...

Grainier with the swat tho...

[wareagleguy 1,393]

Big time block

[jared52 4,354]

Sorry, that was Brown on the contested 3. I'm in the kitchen vacuum sealing....

[wareagleguy 1,393]

2nd time to step on the line

What's up with that?

Lack of court awareness. We give away too many possessions, but the 3s are bailing us out so far today.

[jared52 4,354]

As bad as UT has shot, AU should be comfortably in the lead, but 47% from the FT line, 17 turnovers, and 17 offensive rebounds by UT (to AU's 8) mean we go to the wire.
