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.

Welcome to Coleman Coliseum, where your Auburn Tigers are playing the Tiders from U. Alabama.
This is a picture of the dish that is transmitting the signal you're seeing on ESPN. It is large.
yes
ReplyDeletevery non-substance
ReplyDeleteI give up
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty stoked about this, a regular season basketball game. It's still only about a 3.5 on the Iron Bowl Standard Giddiness Scoring Scale.
ReplyDeleteBaseball's still ties at 2 in the bottom of 7th, in case anyone was wondering
ReplyDeleteAlways interested PF. Update at will.
ReplyDeleteI heart the baseball press releases. Stats galore. Stats are what makes baseball interesting.
ReplyDelete2-2 Top of the 8th.
Manny finally signed with the Dodgers.
It's almost GAME TIME.
ReplyDeleteThat picture reminded me, did Jay get his dish and antenna installed?
ReplyDeletedang Indiani/State game is gonna run late.
ReplyDeleteI did.
ReplyDeleteHaving some issues getting locals in HD. My little antenna didn't get the job done. I'm not happy.
I won't be able to stay awake late enough to see this one through to the end. I know y'all will do your part in my absence.
ReplyDeleteLet's get it on! And by "let's get it on," I don't mean in the Marvin Gaye sense.
ReplyDeleteBeat'em down Tigers!!!
ReplyDeleteI heard Bill Cameron say today that AU is something like 8-41 in T-town.
ReplyDeleteI've extremely pessimistic about our chances all things considered.
JGT - I seem to recall some years ago that to get dependable coverage on the locals you still had to keep at least a basic cable signal. Perhaps that's changed though, I hope so. It sure seems stupid you and everyone can't get locals via satellite.
ReplyDeleteIs anybody else doing streak for the cash on espn.com?
ReplyDeletePaul Burnside had a decent (not great) outing today. 6 innings 6K, 3BB, 2 ER. If Auburn is batting like they should, those are more than suffice for the starter...unfortunately, I don't believe in the bullpen to back up the staters.
ReplyDelete2-2 bottom of the 8th.
WARRRRRRRRRRRRR EAGGGGGLE, WHERE IS JET? WE NEED SOME HATE IN HERE.
ReplyDeleteARE THEY HAVING ANOTHER STREARK FOR CASH?? What's the prize this time?
ReplyDeleteget this big ten game off of my tv
ReplyDeleteHere's my big, fat, hatin' butt!!
ReplyDeleteI HATE UAT!
I HATE 'EM!
I HATE THOSE INFIDELS
I HATE THOSE COUSIN MARRIERS!
I HATE THOSE MOUTH BREATHIN' KNUCKLE DRAGGERS!
MUCHH BETTER
ReplyDeleteSpit on the floor Jay G
ReplyDeleteI'm still seeing Mich St and Indiana. grrrr
ReplyDelete1 million dollars!
ReplyDeleteI want a giant Brick!! Good last few minutes to the Michigan State/ Indiani game.
ReplyDeleteESPN has like 85 channels. Couldn't they show the AU game on one of them?
ReplyDeleteWe're down 9-7.
ReplyDeleteTom Crean looks like a bug flew up his nose. Get his butt off my TV screen.
ReplyDeleteCareful Jet, you don't want to burst your stitches.
ReplyDeleteOk TV time!
ReplyDeleteTay with the tre...we're up.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'll be doing the streak for a mil.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I laughed at Jay G.'s "It is large." RE: the ESPN satellite.
ReplyDeleteBeat 'em down Tigers
ReplyDeleteIt's awfully quiet there.
ReplyDeleteMonica, I think Jay has satellite envy.
ReplyDeletegot to get 27 in a row for the million
ReplyDeleteNot a chance PF ...
ReplyDeleteI'm here to hate ... 94 feet, 40 minutes.
I started hatin' 'em as soon as they got out of the womb.
They're saving their voices for halftime :-(
ReplyDeleteSee all those media guys? NONE of them with a tie on. Does Jay G. have on a tie? You betcha.
ReplyDeleteI HATE houndstooth!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's true. Tie for me always at a game!
ReplyDeleteHA Nice Depressed.
ReplyDeleteHow about Jet's Jet?
ReplyDeleteIt's the HATE Plane
I'm behind the AU bench, BTW.
ReplyDeletebama attempt at white out = epic fail
ReplyDeleteIt's a Redneck Out in West Vance.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for the SGA prez.
ReplyDeleteGotta box out
ReplyDeleteThey were supposed to be doing a whiteout?
ReplyDeleteThat's a mismatch ... with Frankie on Green.
ReplyDeleteTigers are into masonry early.
ReplyDeleteThe Commish!!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL
ReplyDeleteOk, guys...I hate Bama and all but we aren't really gonna try to give them a hard time about their white-out are we?
ReplyDeleteNice play..
ReplyDeleteLove the Flush!!!!
ReplyDeleteBarkley, you avatar is offensive.
ReplyDeleteCommish comes in with a nice remark. Masonry. I like that.
ReplyDeleteDunks are quick cure for the brick laying disease, though. Nice
ReplyDeleteBTW, I can't believe Auburn is playing basketball on ESPN ... in March!
Luv here on the night shift!! WDE
ReplyDeleteI hate Bama...shhhhhhhhh dont tell my bammer wife she is upstairs watching the Bachelor.
ReplyDeleteAuburn Baseball piling it on in the 8th. A 2 RBI tripple by Trent Mummey makes it a 5 run inning so far. 1 out, Mummey on third, Joe Sanders at the plate.
ReplyDeleteAuburn up 7-2.
Even the basketball geeks are salivating over lil nikki. Is it an occupational requirement at ESPN? I hope they brought their kissin' stools if they plan on slipping him some tongue at halftime.
ReplyDeleteBrendon Knox ... we hardly knew ye.
ReplyDeleteThey can eat stools.
ReplyDeletethere ya go, pf
ReplyDeleteWe need to settle down...
ReplyDeleteValue the ball, Auburn.
ReplyDeletePitching change
ReplyDeleteI know Jay 2 too quick for Knox.
ReplyDeleteAuburn reminds me a lot of Duke. No inside presence, and we both shoot the three ball a lot.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Vot
ReplyDeletenice rebound and putback by Vot.
ReplyDeleteLuv the garbage points, Barber
ReplyDeleteNice KB.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bark. Much less offensive.
ReplyDeleteTell the crowd to shut up Jay...they will leave after half anyways.
ReplyDeleteReed is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteShot selection is still not our forte
ReplyDeleterim is very unkind tonight
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely streetball
ReplyDeleteReed is still an idiot.
ReplyDeleteTwo fouls on Barber Shop.
ReplyDeletewhat is the over/under on how many Bammer "fans" leave at half?
ReplyDeleteAfter watching this...we should win tonight. If we get any kind of rythem AU will. THe question is will they?
ReplyDeleteEven the ESPN guy was saying the bama fans were there for the half time show.
ReplyDeleteBarkley,
ReplyDeleteDuke up by 3, 11 mins to go
Atlanta,
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you are right!
Only 2 mentions about the trophy right? I thought it would be way more than that already...
ReplyDelete5000 leave at half including Shane from centerpoint.
ReplyDeleteAuburn shooting a robust 32%.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, I have yet to be able to spot Jay G. grrrr
ReplyDeletei see that, hopefully they can hold em off.
ReplyDeletei say 30% leave after half to go work some overtime at mc'ds so they will have enough money for the julio jones of next year's class.
3 on KNox Dammit
ReplyDelete3 on knox...
ReplyDeletewe are getting ourselves in trouble early with fouls.
ReplyDeletemon...is he in the white shirt next to the guy on the computer behind the au bench?
ReplyDeleteAuburn has lost its composure.
ReplyDeleteTHis isnt good. We have to start shooting better from the arch, cause we can hit a three.
ReplyDeleteAre they going to have that Green mismatch all night?
ReplyDeleteHow many fans will St Nick run over trying to leave the Coleman parking lot?
ReplyDeleteooh...this is gettin' ugly...cmon guys..
ReplyDeleteIt's about time to call TO, Fester.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to flip it back to American Idol. This is ugly right now.
ReplyDeleteThese refs sure are whistle happy. They are calling an awful lot of touch fouls. I think it's a conspiracy!
ReplyDeleteWe're just throwin' it up there, hoping to make shots.
ReplyDeleteFinally, they've traveled a few times.
ReplyDeleteWhatever...THis ESPN anouncer is crap. THose are all ILLegtimate coaches for bama.
ReplyDeleteI'm still searching, Brian. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeletejohn callipari would have to be out of his mind to go to alabama.
ReplyDeleteoh, Baseball team won. 7-2.
ReplyDeleteOk, I am getting worried. It's probably my fault because I am watching.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have the mute my tv. How many times have they mentioned Saban?
ReplyDeleteThere you go, Frankie.
ReplyDeleteI never realized just how small our team is.
ReplyDeleteBud LIght Player of the Game ... Dewayne Reed for UAT.
ReplyDelete2-12?
ReplyDeleteHow many team fouls does Alabama have this half?
ReplyDeleteBetter do something quick or we are blowing any shot that we have for the NCAA touney.
ReplyDeleteA 14-2 run for Les Pachyderms.
ReplyDeleteJet, not a big Reed fan are you?
ReplyDeleteAuburn 10 fouls.
ReplyDeleteAlabama 4 fouls.
can't watch all the time...makes me too nervous
ReplyDeleteDAMN DAMN DAMN
ReplyDeleteI understand what Reed's going through. They're all just off. He knows he can hit, but every time he misses, it's that much more pressure on the next one.
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteI finally turned the volume off and am listening to the Auburn network. The play by play doesn't exactly match, but better than listening to ESPN.
Shooters are cold, this is not good.
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't have played much worse and it won't continue all night.
ReplyDeleteWe will have double digit lead at some point.
no one is talking about AU even being on the bubble...we're not showing good reason
ReplyDeleteDewayne Reed has the bad habit of frequently throwing the pin instead of the grenade.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to do during halfime!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay GT, I figured they haven't been whistled much.
ReplyDeleteWe're not on the bubble ... I just want to BEAT BAMA ... 'cuz I hate 'em.
ReplyDeleteThat should have counted as two fouls on Green.
ReplyDeletewe are not a good team at all with barber out... not a good thing for next year
ReplyDeletedifficult to watch
ReplyDeleteWaller is really cold and bama is hot
ReplyDeletecrowd is still pretty quiet
ReplyDeletenot looking good
ReplyDelete"That sounds like a two bolt rim." hmmm
ReplyDeleteFortunately my daughter is on her way home and we are going to they gym, so hopefully I will miss halftime.
ReplyDeleteWE are not very good right now.
ReplyDeleteI really don't feel a sense of rivalry between the kids out on the court
ReplyDeletethis is pathetic...
ReplyDeleteat least Speed Reed isn't sitting at home with an icepack on his lap :-)
ReplyDeleteHopefully, Fester gets some adjustments implimented at halftime.
Hag - do your homework during the half.
ReplyDelete3 foul shots?
ReplyDelete20 wins would be nice...
ReplyDeletecan we hit something other than iron please?
ReplyDeleteOne good thing about this team is that they don't give up.
ReplyDeleteThey are taking us to school on why you don't play small ball with the big boys. I'm tired of being so small and this style of play. It is always dependent on shooting percentage, which we are sucking quite fondly at. I've had enough. I'll check in the morning for the result, but I have a good idea of how it will finish.
ReplyDeletethese rims suck.
ReplyDeleteAt least they cut it to 10. Turning off TV now!
ReplyDeletei'm not watching any of the halftime i don't want to see that crap. someone tell me when the second half starts.
ReplyDeletethat was suckalicious
ReplyDeleteBama missed their chance to put us away. We'll be hitting those jumpers in the 2nd half.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the HABOTN, Winfrey. If you're not new then just welcome back. WDE
ReplyDeleteNice Mon...
ReplyDeleteI can't claim to be a basketball star or expert, but I do know that shooting while falling backward or to a side lends itself to a poor shooting percentage.
ReplyDeleteMan its a good thing we are playing Alabama. A good team would be up by 25 on us now.
ReplyDeleteWell there's a (somewhat) positive development in the sports world: four months of posturing and pouting later, Boras-Ramirez got nothing more from the Dodgers.
ReplyDeleteThere is no baseball redemption for the quit job he pulled on the BoSox, but he is one helluva hitter.
"Sucky rims." Good one Barkley
ReplyDeletechatroll.com during the half anyone? everyone?
ReplyDeleteBrandon - now THAT's the truth
ReplyDeleteHey Brian - Welcome back to you too. ;-)
T. Douglas FSU, where have I heard that name before?
ReplyDeleteHag waitin on you
ReplyDeleteEx lurker new guy here. I also had to mute the tele and eat the three second delay. The worst thing is I've had to endure all of Bama's hits and our misses twice.
ReplyDeleteBarber and Knox need to get left in there until they foul out hargrave and #42 suck at the low post defense...
ReplyDeleteok.... a little halftime discussion...
ReplyDeletebrought this up earlier and only got 3 responses... but thread ended early then too...
I will pose the question to you all and let you deliberate.
Do we want to do a HABOTN Tourny Pickem for the NCAA Tourney? If there is enough interest I will take charge and set up the group on either ESPN or Yahoo (whichever is preferred). A follow up question is do we wanna have a buy in per bracket entry, winner takes the pot (not a Michael Phelps reference).
Well, at least Duke pulled it out.
ReplyDeletethey are lovin on duke fsu
ReplyDeleteHey BigEZ Welcome to the posting side of HABOTN.
ReplyDeleteusually play the sportsradio 740 brackets
ReplyDeleteMon...love that word..you should put a patent on that..;)
ReplyDeletenot the best half of basketball i've seen. at least bama sucks at free throws as much as we do.
ReplyDeleteI would love a bracket challenge on ESPN!
ReplyDeleteSomeone peek over the bushes and tell us when halftime is over. Speaking of bushes, I wonder if the sour faced "burning bush" is enjoying his serenade. I threw up in my mouth a little.
ReplyDeletewar eagle big ez! i won free tix for the game sat. anyone going?
ReplyDelete2nd half starting...
ReplyDeleteempty seats...half time over!!
ReplyDeletei didn't see anything...did anyone else?
ReplyDeleteMiller, count me in on the bracket pool. Buy in or free, doesn't matter
ReplyDeleteThanks Mon, it's nice to have friends to watch the game with. BTW, me and a friend were up through your way last year for a Steelers game. It was really pretty country side.
ReplyDeleteThe one ingredient always lacking under Lebo is size under the basket. Auburn is pretty much forced to play the way they do due to roster limitations. That is not meant as an excuse, I just don't know if he would try to play the same style of ball if he had some numbers on the inside. The big question is can he get some big men into the program?
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAAAAAy no trophy!
ReplyDeleteD-up D-up D-up (clap clap clap)
ReplyDeleteMy gut tells me an L is coming but I know AU is better than this. Geez...........
ReplyDeleteGOALTENDING!!!! HE touched the net while the ball was on the rim
ReplyDeletemaybe is shouldn't watch anymore and our luck will change?
ReplyDeleteis=me=I
ReplyDeleteHanging around. Let's go guys.
ReplyDeleteWar Friggin' Eagle!!!!!
Brian - What word???
ReplyDeleteBigEZ - next time you're up this way, we'll buy you a beverage.
Band playing Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell."
ReplyDeleteGood song. Seems miscast at Alabama. Wouldn't Ole Miss be a better fit®?
ha @ registered fit
ReplyDeleteSUKALICIOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is Rasheem wearing that for?
ReplyDeletedid they play the trophy presentation on the tv at all?
ReplyDelete
