Auburn beats ASU, 77-72
We're live blogging the Alabama State @ Auburn basketball game. It's time for the second half.FINAL
Auburn 77, ASU 72
GAME @ 0:58
Auburn 70, ASU 63: Tay Waller throws up a prayer at the 1:00 mark, Johnnie Lett tips in the miss. That's where the Tigers are right now -- nothing can go wrong.
GAME @ 1:36
Auburn 68, ASU 63: The Tigers went on a 17-0 run. That turned an 8-point deficit into a 9-point lead. ASU just scored a couple quick baskets to add some intrigue.
SEVENTH TO @ 3:24
Auburn 61, ASU 59: The Tigers have forced turnovers on six consecutive possessions. That's one charge and five problems with pressure defense. It's a pretty impressive deal.
FIFTH TO @ 5:13
ASU 59, Auburn 57. Full-court pressure is doing this. ASU isn't dealing with it well and that's creating major problems there. This team has a lot of seniors; surely a minor adjustment can fix this particular issue.
FOURTH TO @ 6:20
ASU 57, Auburn 51: The Tigers have some life in them after all. They're playing more aggressively right now, though someone needs to tell Lucas Hargrove that he's not a point guard or a point forward or whatever he thinks he is. That's not working. ASU still seems rushed. Not sure why.
THIRD TO @ 9:28
ASU 48, Auburn 40: The Tigers are just getting out-played right now. Barber is playing aggressively and doing his job. Can't say the same for the rest of his team. ASU seems more impatient than it should be given its current situation. They ought to be milking this.
SECOND TO @ 11:55
ASU 43, Auburn 37: The Tigers seem content to let Brooks fire away from outside. He's lighting them up. This ASU has play-makers, I'm telling you. All I have seen from Auburn so far is Tay Waller.
FIRST TO @ 14:38
ASU 35, Auburn 35: Tay Waller is heating up. He already has eight points in this half. He's hitting everything. Auburn was called for a technical foul. I'm not sure what was going on there. I think that was on Waller. Lemme see what I can find out there.
UPDATE: It was on Waller for unsportsmanlike behavior.
HOTTIE SHOUT-OUT
Thanks to Kristina and Earl for stopping by at halftime.
HALFTIME
ASU 29, Auburn 24

If Monica is 1, then my only hope would be to be No. 2
Sometimes you don't even have to comment on a picture. http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20081218/NEWS/81218011&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL
You're a strong 2, Jet.
Does anyone have that link with basketball games on it?
#2 makes me giggle
McLovin, I can't believe they put the name and address of hoochies in the paper. It turned into a free advertisement for them.
How Freudian.
This could be a stinging defeat. Get it, a 'stinging' defeat. I kill myself sometimes. I know, I know, you wonder where I get my witty sayings, all I can say is that it is a talent.

ASU-AU Game Tracker
Starbucks Eggnog Latte rawks.
I beat you cuz I got skills.
I'm watching the video of the game. I prefer the video over the game tracker, but thank you, Mobile.
Skills huh...
ok i heard that....i agree i'm watching it also...
ASU now up 10.
Geez, no one can hit a free throw.
Every year, same story.
Can't hit FTs.
Exactly Kathy,
those clapping hands are distracting! lol
Well, maybe they didn't anticipate having to shoot free throws.
ASU up, 54-43, with 8:39 to go.
Best defense against Auburn is to foul.
lol Steve
Is the guy on the Sony Bravia commercial intended to look and sound exactly like a younger version of Jerry Seinfeld?
What a run by Manning..
how about making your team livid!
We should win this. Our uniforms look much better than State's.
Those are some rough looking suits being worn by that crew surrounding Lebo.
Hey, this basketball thing isn't bad. We score much more often than on the football field.
Will someone please shoot the guy that puts up the clap clap defense video thingie. It is extremely annoying.
Clap Clap DEFENSE!!!
Jay-G,
We're building a $90 million stadium for our b-ball team and we are getting beat by ASU????
The entire ASU Budget for sports is about $5 million....
Someone PLEASE explain to me what in yhr hell is going on!!!
We made 2 FTs in a row!!!
mdaniel, we are winning by 9.
Did Denny Crum just show some humor??
Pretty good DC I actually laughed!
Merry X-Mas
Go Stingers!!
Steve,
That seems to be a big turn around from 54-43 favor ASU w/ 8 min to go.
We must have kicked some ass or we're now pulling for ASU.
The lovliest village in midtown MTGY.
a 17-0 run? u pullin my leg Jay G? wow.
What is the score?
AU 75-72 with :03 left.
76-72
How bout dem tigers?
Who dey, who dey, who dey think gonna beat them tigers!
Denny ...
"We are," said the rest of the SEC.
Did you start that cheer back in the day, Denny? Who'd have thunk it.
This was a very impressive comeback. It was as if Auburn suddenly decided to play. Once they brought the pressure, everything turned around.
thank goodness for Aubie Claus. a Merry Christmas to all!
thanks to whoever (or whomever) posted the link for the free AU tv. got to watch the end. nice.
Touchdown Auburn!!!
Ummm, I mean Auburn Wins!!!!
The game was never in doubt. This team just refuses to lose.
SFC, i think you need to have a heart-to-heart with Jet. maybe some of your overflowing optimism will rub off. ;)
War Eagle!
Goodnight, hotties!
nite mon.
Jet's a bit of a schizo, much like me. One minute it's, "Let's do this, gang!" and the next it is, "We are dead!"
WDE HOTTIES!!!
Good night!
Great comeback. Glad they decided to play. Good night hotties. WDE!
we are not schizo.
Good Night Hotties!!
Enough Said.
LATE!!!
PS... Pitifull!!!!
Jay,
More rumors today about Rocker as DC and Nix as OC any truth?
I love the Nix idea. He was an OC for Ga Tech and knows the Georgia HS coaches (left the cupboard pretty full there as well). Now the OC at Miami and knows Fla HS coaches. Should be good for recruiting and runs the pro set.
I went to ISU's site to see what kind of recruits CGC was going after. He's made 12 scholly offers to Florida recruits. He seems heavily involved in the panhandle.
I doubt there's truth to the OC thing.
DC? Don't know.
Are you just trying to make me feel better, Jay? I hope you're right.
"those auburn tigers. they never quit!" brent musberger.
Jay,
Lebo said on the postgame interview that he didn't go to the press defense earlier because he didn't think it would work very long against ASU. I was at the game and have to say that might be their best shot at winning many games. The shooting was pretty awful aside from Waller. The rely on turnovers and fast break offense otherwise.
