Auburn def. UTPA, 66-63

TUESDAY NIGHT
Post No. 1,006

We're live blogging the Auburn vs. Texas-Pan American game. Please join in.

  • 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 NUMBERS OF INTEREST
    Shooting
    AUB -- 16-29 55.2%
    TPA -- 10-26 38.5%

    3 Shooting
    AUB -- 5-12 41.7%
    TPA -- 4-14 26.7%

    FT Shooting
    AUB -- 2-7 28.6%
    TPA -- 4-6 66.7%

    Rebounding
    AUB -- 19 (7o, 12d)
    TPA -- 14 (5o, 9d)

  • 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.

Auburn up 11-0 ... less than two minutes in.

Ok folks, I'm calling it right now. I predict there won't be a sellout tonight. You heard it here first.

Texas-Pan-American (is that how you punctuate that?) has a really funny picture on their homepage of a big lecture hall nearly empty with only a few students sitting in the seats. You may have to refresh a couple times, but I found it to be pretty humorous.

Newsflash: This just in, the AU-UTPA basketball game will not be televised tonight due to the fact that it is Auburn vs. Texas Pan-American.

7:19 PM

Thanks, Leader.

By the way, your photo gives me nightmares!

7:26 PM

Jay G... Anyway you can sneak out, drink some beer, then come back at the end....

or would they miss the only fan in the seats..

7:28 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

If I wasn't here, I'd be failing the HOTTIES.

That just can't happen.

7:30 PM  
Blogger NoALtiger said...

I believe that JJ has instituted a new rule this year at BEMC that stops play when a fan has to take a bathroom break, answer a cell phone or hit the concession stand. Therefore JGT wouldn't actually miss anything if he did head out. This only applies to the men's games of course.

7:34 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

Jay G.

nobody is at the game... you could pretty much tell us anything and we would belive you... =0)

Go get a beer.. heck its Tuesday...

7:36 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

There are at least 150 fans here!

7:37 PM  
Blogger Prowler said...

Jay G is the man! You can't break him...even by tempting him with beer! That's how deep his devotion to the Hotties runs.

7:38 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

yes but do they know you???

7:38 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

see its working... you just told me 150 people showed up for the game and I fell for it.....


now do you feel better... go get the beer....

By the way... I am at the game... can you pick me out????

7:39 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

made ya look didn't I....

7:39 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Shouldn't you be traveling with an entourage?

7:40 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

Heck I brought 149 poor souls with me,,, what else do you want....

7:41 PM  
Blogger michael said...

Dear Leader, I know you are lying because you have to wear clothes to get in. You wouldn't sell out on us like that.

7:42 PM  
Blogger Prowler said...

It wouldn't really be Leader anyway. It would be one of his many body doubles.

You know, Leader, there are rumors that you died years ago. How do you respond to such allegations?

7:43 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Ole Miss sure is taking care of them Wildcats, how confusing is the SEC?

7:44 PM  
Blogger scott,will not,from tucson said...

clothing is optional on tpa games

7:44 PM  
Blogger michael said...

I imagine he responds by sitting in his favorite chair naked while drinking a few beers.

7:45 PM  
Blogger scott,will not,from tucson said...

turnout is disappointing, considering these guys have a legit shot at (at least) the nit.

7:47 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

Stark contrast in the crowd from the Ladies' game the other day...

I wonder if Lebo is gonna get jealous or pissy that the girls are getting fan support (read: winning) and the guys are not?

7:49 PM  
Blogger Prowler said...

Could the AU women hang with the men? I bet that would bring a crowd!

7:49 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

Rumours of my death are all BAMA lies....

7:49 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

I did think the "Made Ya look" line was pretty good... if I do say so my self...

cause I know,,, for a brief second,,,, Jay you looked!

7:50 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

I'd have no idea what to look for, so no.

7:51 PM  
Blogger Prowler said...

You look for an old, short Korean fellow wearing glasses and a thong...shouldn't be hard to spot!

7:55 PM  
Blogger NoVaTiger said...

I would think a naked Korean would stand out in the "crowd".

7:55 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

old, short, balding and Fat...

thank you very much...

7:55 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

don't forget the fat...

Jay GT- So is this like a Lakers crowd that's just late filtering in?

8:01 PM  
Blogger Dear Leader said...

Guys it’s been great but I got to get the hooker out of the house, hide the evidence, get the kids out of the cellar and to bed,,, all before the wife get home...

TWENTY-EIGHT % on FTs. That's almost half their usual %

8:06 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

We have a game!

AU up 41-28 now.

8:08 PM  
Blogger Prowler said...

Peace out, Leader!

Maybe we can do a coaching swap with UA like Auburn and ISU were doing.

8:08 PM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

can somebody recommend a good hypnotist to work some FT magic. I am absolutely dumbfounded by the team's utter failure to accept charity.

8:09 PM  
Blogger Prowler said...

I could make 28% of my FTs standing BEHIND the goal. That's horrible!

8:12 PM  
Blogger AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...

They sound like they are playing awful!!!!

8:12 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Tis better to give than receive, Tar.

We wouldn't be congenial hosts if we weren't congenital free throw missers.

8:13 PM  
Blogger Miller said...

I'm shocked they are actually getting to the line... That must mean they aren't taking every single shot from beyond the arc...

28%, really? how frickin pathetic...

Heck, Shaq was 9-10 the other night... SHAQ!

8:16 PM

Get Rick Barry to show the men how to shoot "Granny-shot" free throws. He tried to teach Shaq, but he wouldn't do it because it didn't look cool.

8:18 PM

Just put up another thread on Petey Smith. Thanks for the tip, Anon.
