Auburn def. Alabama, 77-73.

Welcome to Coleman Coliseum, where your Auburn Tigers are playing the Tiders from U. Alabama.

• FINAL
  Auburn 77, Alabama 73.
  
  
• FOURTH TO @ 3:50, 2nd half
  Auburn leads, 69-63. I told you all earlier -- defense was going to tell the tale. Auburn has upped the man-to-man pressure and Alabama can't get much going inside. The Tigers are shooting 62 percent, too, which has something to do with this rally as well.
  
  
• THIRD TO @ 7:40, 2nd half
  Alabama leads, 59-58. Well, the Tigers are on a big surge now. Alabama is lost on offense. Not sure what happened there. Why isn't Alabama going inside anymore? If that doesn't change, Auburn will win this game.
  
  
• SECOND TO @ 11:36, 2nd half
  Alabama leads, 54-48. Auburn is being more thoughtful with its shot selection now and it's having some consistent offensive success. Alabama is in a lull. Does Alabama have a leader who can turn this thing around? We shall see.
  
  
• FIRST TO @ 15:38, 2nd half
  Alabama leads, 48-37. Auburn has gone to a zone, but it hasn't had much of an effect on the Tide. They're still shooting quite well. Auburn's offense seems more refined so far this half, but defense is going to be the second-half issue.
  
  
• HALFTIME
  Alabama leads, 39-29.
  
  
• FOURTH TO @ 3:53, 1st half
  Alabama leads, 36-25. The Tide is on a 14-2 run with a shooter on the line. They're still going inside, which is smart. Auburn doesn't have the size to bang with those guys. Auburn has been forced to use Francis Aihe in there because the top guys all have too many fouls. Aihe?
  
  
• THIRD TO @ 7:27, 1st half
  Alabama leads, 22-20. Now it has become a game of transition, which probably favors Auburn. I don't expect it to last. Auburn is shooting very poorly. Nobody seems to have the touch. Barrett has shown some signs of life.
  
  
• SECOND TO @ 11:38, 1st half
  Alabama leads, 15-14. The Tide is being smart -- working the ball inside against the undersized Tigers. Brendon Knox looked like a stud for a second there. He had a dunk, a block and a steal in his first 30 seconds. Then he picked up two fouls and ... bye bye.
  
  
• FIRST TO @ 15:46, 1st half
  Auburn leads, 10-9. Tay Waller already has a pair of treys. Teams are just feelin' each other out. I laughed at one of the signs in the student section: "Thirty-six to almost three." Clever.
