[WarTiger 4,120]

Barrett has been an unstoppable machine in the first half... he's got I think 16 points and is shooting something like 10-13 from the floor.

[WarTiger 4,120]

tigers lead 43-41 at the half....

BOOM! Waller with a trey to give Auburn the lead 76-75. 1:00 to play, timeout UT.

[TitanTiger 22,249]

UT gets a bucket. UT leads 77-76. Auburn timeout, 36.6 seconds to play.

[TitanTiger 22,249]

Hargrove gets fouled and will get two FTs.

UT timeout. 16 seconds to play.

[TitanTiger 22,249]

Hargrove misses both, but Barrett gets the rebound and Auburn calls timeout. 12.9 seconds left.

Another timeout, this time by UT. Still 12.9 to play.

[TitanTiger 22,249]

BARBER WITH A LAY IN! UT SHOT NO GOOD! AUBURN WINS! 78-77!

The inbounds pass was a dangerous one and in the scramble for the ball, Waller came up with it. He drove to near the 3 pt line and found Barber under the boards with 4 seconds left (he actually got fouled but there was no call). UT drove down quickly but missed the outside jumper at the buzzer.

Wow, that was a fun game to watch. We still can't hit critical free throws but these guys play SO hard War Eagle!

The Tennessee players talked trash the whole game to the Auburn players and the refs. They deserved to lose.

[BZ770 2]

That was a great win for Auburn and Lebo. We played well when it counted.

[WarTiger 4,120]

anybody see their wide load player grab the arm and jersey of one of our players as they drove to the basket? Officials were right on top of it and called the intentional foul. Then later when tennessee is bringing the ball up the floor with no pressure, the wing player on the near side was (judging from his gestures wasn't happy about something) and extended is right arm and shoved our player back about 10 feet. Ridiculous... Official again, right on top of it and we got the ball...It was crazy... what an ending...
