Hey everyone. Welcome to Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum for tonight's epic battle between your Auburn Tigers and the Rebels of Ole Miss.

• FINAL
  Auburn 77, Ole Miss 64.
  
  
• FOURTH TO @ 3:45, 2nd half
  Auburn leads, 70-57.
  
  
• THIRD TO @ 7:41, 2nd half
  Auburn leads, 59-45. The Tigers are doing everything right on defense at the moment. They're rebounding. They're confounding the Rebels with some type of matchup zone deal. Ole Miss has gone scoreless on 10 consecutive possessions.
  
  
• SECOND TO @ 11:41, 2nd half
  Auburn leads, 49-45. So Auburn is on a run early in the period. Then Speed Reed comes along, takes a few weak shots and now the rally is over. Ole Miss still is rebounding well. Not doing much else well.
  
  
• FIRST TO @ 14:58, 2nd half
  Auburn leads, 47-43. The Tigers opened on a 9-0 run. They're scoreless in three possessions since then.

  Bo Jackson is here. Proof:
  
  
• HALFTIME
  Ole Miss leads, 40-36.
  
  
• FOURTH TO @ 3:34, 1st half
  Ole Miss leads, 32-25. Auburn now 1-for-12 from the perimeter. More interesting is the apparent decision to let Barber, a relatively poor passer, act as the offensive hub right now. They're dumping into him. As Ole Miss swarms him, Jeff Lebo is asking Barber to make the right pass out of the double team. It's not happening very often.
  
  
• THIRD TO @ 6:54, 1st half
  Ole Miss leads, 26-23. Auburn currently is 1-for-9 from the perimeter. Maybe it's time to consider other options. The Tigers are rebounding, though. They're staying (almost) even because of put-backs and other second-effort deeds.
  
  
• SECOND TO @ 11:49, 1st half
  Ole Miss leads, 19-16. I get the sense, without looking at statistics, that Ole Miss is not a very good defensive team. I've seen them miss several switches in the nine minutes so far. Auburn has been getting lovely looks.
  
  
• FIRST TO @ 15:15, 1st half
  Ole Miss leads, 14-10. Ole Miss' point guard, freshman Terrico White, already has seven points and two assists. He's the guy who went off for 19 the last time these two teams played. I guess Jeff Lebo hasn't quite figured out how to stop the kid.

• Vincent Jackson, a former Auburn tailback, is here tonight. I'll try to get a picture of of him.
  
  
• This is sooooo not a "white out." This is the worst SEC crowd of the season without a doubt.
