• FINAL -- Auburn wins, 66-63.
  
  
• 1:09, 2nd half (UTPA calls timeout) -- Auburn leads, 61-58.
  Tight game. Very tight.
  
  
• 3:51, 2nd half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 57-52.
  Auburn has scored on four of its last five possessions to create some momentum. UTPA doesn't have a go-to guy to help right now. Auburn appears to be leaning on Hargrove to handle that role.
  
  
• 7:27, 2nd half (media timeout) -- UTPA leads, 51-48.
  Yes, you're reading that correctly. The Broncos are playing with more heart and more aggression. No offensive rebounds for the Tigers. One and done. Auburn is sloppy.
  
  
• 11:59, 2nd half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 46-40.
  Auburn's just asleep right now and UTPA is playing pretty aggressively.
  
  
• 15:42, 2nd half (Auburn calls timeout) -- Auburn leads, 41-38.
  Awful start for the Tigers. Four missed shots and two turnovers in seven possessions. The Broncos have opened on a 10-2 run.

• HALFTIME -- Auburn leads, 39-28.
  Boring game, honestly.
  
  
• 4:49, 1st half (UTPA timeout) -- Auburn leads, 33-19.
  The Tigers are on a 9-2 run. The Broncos' coach is worried.
  
  
• 7:51, 1st half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 24-16.
  Auburn's half-court trap is totally messing with UTPA's offense. The Tigers are shooting so poorly that they're not taking advantage of their defensive domination.
  
  
• 11:17, 1st half -- first foul called. It's an offensive foul on Auburn.
  
  
• 11:46, 1st half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 20-11.
  I guess a 2-0 run counts as drama.
  
  
• 15:17, 1st half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 14-0.
  It was 14-0 at one time, so I guess we can say UTPA is on a 4-0 run. They're so much smaller than Auburn. It's pretty amazing. They also missed their first four shots and mixed in three turnovers, too. If you're gonna be small, you gotta be sharper than that.
  
  
• 18:10, 1st half (UTPA calls timeout) -- Auburn leads, 11-0.
  Oh boy.
