Auburn def. LSU, 69-53 (men)
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Post No. 1,097
Let the hating begin.
Auburn, serially written off by national bracketologists, mauled Southeastern Conference regular-season champion LSU today. It was a bludgeoning that won't soon be forgotten around these parts.
Korvotney Barber finished with 16 points and 17 rebounds. Not too shabby.
Coach Jeff Lebo isn't real happy with experts who insist the Tigers aren't worthy of an NCAA Tournament bid.
"The way we're playing right now, I don't think that after this win against LSU, with us being the only team to beat LSU and Tennessee, the two top teams in our league, I don't think you can ignore that. I don't know what
they look at. You can look at numbers all you want, but the numbers will not dictate how well our team is playing right now. I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I've got to for these guys. We've won eight out of nine and to say that we're not even in the mix is a slap in the face of our guys and the SEC in my opinion. This is a good league. Is it as strong as it has been in past years? Maybe not, but it's not one that's far below some of these other ones."
The Tigers now are 21-10 (10-6 in the SEC) and enter the league tournament as the West No. 2 seed. They'll play the winner of the Arkansas-Florida first-round game.

I gave up on this team after the Vandy/Ole Miss losses but WOW what a comeback for this Auburn team. The real Tigers go to Auburn the lotty cats go to LSwho
Really impressive comeback, I'll say.
I'll stay off the Lebo bandwagon. Works better for us
Me too I do believe he has turned it around
Ummm, I think I am hallucinating. Which tigers won?
When is the Florida game? Friday?
Jay, please banhammer Jet if you see him near the Lebo bandwagon.
Fire Fester!
That bandwagon has been barren so long ... there's plenty of room for all!
Now the Lady Tigers need to step up and win. This will not be easy because Tenn is playing their best ball and Pat knows how to win at tournament time.
If we're special, we win this game.
We're special
Wooo Hooo!!! The lady tigers are on FSC. Hope I don't jinx them by watching.
By the way, Jay G. I disagree with you that Auburn had to win 2 more to make the NCAA tournament. I think the win against LSU will do it.
WAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR EAGLE! HEY!
What a win!
Goals for today:
Beat LSU! Check
Beat Brown! Check
Beat Brown! In progress
Beat UT! Comin' up
HATE UAT! CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK!
Terrell Owens has signed a one year deal with Buffalo.
Maybe Buffalo will trade him to the Toronto Argonauts for some hot cocoa and some sideline chalk. Make him Canada's problem...
Let's go girls!
ain't no girls about it. we gonna win with these women.
Lobbying Lebo me likey.
