Auburn def. Florida, 61-58 (@ SEC Tournament)

Hey everyone. As you may or may not know, I am not in Tampa due to budgetary constraints.

I also am not available to live blog because I'm taking high-school scores at Advertiser headquarters. This one is up to you until further notice.
  • Auburn wins, 61-58.

  • Florida leads at halftime, 29-28.

  • Auburn ended the first half on an 11-4 run.

  3. Do Brando and Saban use the same hair-coloring products?

    ReplyDelete
  4. i have a good feeling guys...we're going to get the W

    ReplyDelete
  5. some nerves early, should be expected

    ReplyDelete
  6. Both teams look a little uptight.

    ReplyDelete
  7. does anyone else get the commercial interruptions in the middle of the game?

    ReplyDelete
  8. forced two shots already

    ReplyDelete
  9. An offensive rebound would be nice

    ReplyDelete
  10. That was 10 feet behind the 3 pt line

    ReplyDelete
  11. I wonder if these announcers realize UF played last night. Dammit joe dean is such a schmuck!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Honestly though..I bet the two extra shoot arounds and last nights game will help the gaytors a tad.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I just hate how this team of d-bag announcers runs things in the ground. They'll be on our free throw woes in a few..just wait..

    ReplyDelete
  14. florida's caucasians are ballin.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I tried to call in the Palisdes v B. Arnold High's field hockey score, but just got the sports editors's answering machine. Guess I dialed the wrong number.


    Didn't make it to Tampa. Decided to wait and leave tomorrow morning.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Auburn makes TWO free throws

    ReplyDelete
  17. it's all good, they can't shoot this well all night.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Who is that FL guy making 3s?

    ReplyDelete
  19. 4 for 5 on 3s. Florida is shooting well

    ReplyDelete
  20. Frankie Sullivan = cash money.

    ReplyDelete
  21. That was great ball movement. Gotta hang tough with Barber out of the game.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Jhag is excited about Tay and Frankie in the future

    ReplyDelete
  23. Jay, didn't you compare Frankie to Frank Tolbert? He has really found his groove since mid-season.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Best game of this tourney so far. The rest were yawners. I sure hope these big time bricks start falling. Lets go tigers!

    ReplyDelete
  25. they have to cool down eventually......i hope

    ReplyDelete
  26. why does that basket count?

    ReplyDelete
  27. so you can foul someone after you made the shot? wow

    ReplyDelete
  28. We're looking rusty. We need UF to cool off quick.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I sure hope I'm not setting myself up for a major bummer, but I still feel pretty o.k. about this one. I've seen starts a little like this a few times during the streak.

    ReplyDelete
  30. And someone figure out the stupid pick n roll, leaving shooters and post guys open.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Good grief. At some point, UF is going to have to start missing threes. Also, Calathes carries the ball every time down the floor, for the love.

    We look tight, and just when we loosen up, it's either a called or TV timeout. DADGUM IT.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Take that! No more threes from half court, lizards

    ReplyDelete
  33. why are we making free throws?

    ReplyDelete
  34. 1 posession game! woot woot!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Two HUGE possessions for Les Tigres.

    ReplyDelete
  36. UF is really tightening the screws on Barber. Someone is going to have to hit some outside shots.

    ReplyDelete
  37. UF returning to earth

    But we are still caught in it's gravitation pull

    ReplyDelete
  38. calm the flip down hargrove!!! damn

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wow that was a terrible pass inside off a great opportunity.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Tolbert and Sullivan have a lot in common. Both play with extra enthusiasm, though Sullivan is more thoughtful with his real-time decisions.

    Sullivan is more of a shooter. They both seem endlessly energetic on defense.

    ReplyDelete
  41. rasheem and hargrove make me so so so nervous

    ReplyDelete
  42. This is some pace. Let's hope it catches up with UF in second half

    ReplyDelete
  43. Sullivan looks more composed than the upperclassmen. Hopefully, AU can keep it within reach and come out strong after halftime.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Jay--They say after every game that they don't care, but do you think they know or care about maryland winning and temple and baylor being on the verge of stealing bids??...making this as much a must win as you could ever have.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Frankie Sullivan Show!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Nice job Frankie....

    C'mon Auburn

    ReplyDelete
  47. Sullivan is awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  48. There's the FT shooting we know and...know

    ReplyDelete
  49. Anonymous9:36 PM

    Anyone have dish TV here in Mtgy? The game is NOT coming in on 443 for a friend ... I have cable so I have it fine.

    ReplyDelete
  50. brutal misses. just brutal

    ReplyDelete
  51. Frankie is taking charge!

    ReplyDelete
  52. i'll take 29-28, the way they shot from the three point line.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Whenever the point guard holds up ANY fingers ... that means give the ball to FRANKIE!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. WHAT A BOARD that was by Frankie! Awesome! 2nd half is all ours!

    ReplyDelete
  55. What a rebound by Frankie

    ReplyDelete
  56. Phew what a half.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Frankie is playing 4 inches taller and 2 steps faster than everyone else.

    ReplyDelete
  58. great way to close out the first half.

    FRANKIE SULLIVAN IS PLAYING OUTSIDE HIS MIND!!!!!! i love it.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Someone has to step up and help with the scoring. You know UF will be paying extra attention to #20 in the 2nd half.

    ReplyDelete
  60. 11-4 run to close the first half. I like where we are.

    ReplyDelete
  61. sullivan is my new favorite tiger!
    Kid has some effort in him.
    FRANKIE! FRANKIE! FRANKIE!

    ReplyDelete
  62. frankie rocks. this game, while not in the bag, is auburn's to win.

    ReplyDelete
  63. And I thought we were done with the Daves. Raycom...ugh

    ReplyDelete
  64. You're right kristina. Raycom is bad bad bad.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I thinkthe years of play off experience, albeit high school, will help Sullivan. He has performed before when the pressure was on.

    ReplyDelete
  66. We need a first 5 minutes like we had in the LSU game, just knock these guys out early and then smother them.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I see AU going to Vot more this halp as UF will surely come out on Sullivan.

    ReplyDelete
  68. It is always nice to feel like you should be down 10 at the half and be down only 1.

    ReplyDelete
  69. We are a long way from 70 points, which is what I think we need.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Anonymous9:50 PM

    I give up. Raycom is showing the ACC and ESPN360 has blacked out the AU-Fla game. I live 40 miles from the ACC tourney in Atl and 600 miles from Tampa and the SEC game is blacked out?

    ReplyDelete
  71. My wife can't find the game on Dish, but she's not looking very hard.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Hoopie are you on DISH?

    ReplyDelete
  73. I've got it on 474 on DISH.

    ReplyDelete
  74. No kidding, mkiclea. We came out flat.

    ReplyDelete
  75. where's Jet to give you the play by play?

    ReplyDelete
  76. 474 works for Wifey on Dish.

    Yay!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Sadly, there is no logic to sports programming avaliability on TV, whether it is on Dish, cable or rabbit ears.

    ReplyDelete
  78. So Brando gave us no love this year and now says this the 1st time he has seen us in person.

    ReplyDelete
  79. The game is on 3 different channels on DirecTV in Huntsville, all displaying various levels of craptitude in picture and audio.

    And thanks for agreeing with me, Kristeenuh. Your opinion means the world to me.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Here we go again...

    ReplyDelete
  81. I know it does mchiel. I'm here for ya buddy.

    ReplyDelete
  82. What the %$*(@)#_@!*#$?????????

    ReplyDelete
  83. this would be easier if we'd stop digging ourselves in a hole.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Big play from Robertson!

    ReplyDelete
  85. There ya go, Vot. We need that from him.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Awful shot selection, Tay.

    Sweet boards though

    ReplyDelete
  87. bad shot selection frm tay waller all night

    ReplyDelete
  88. Yahoo sports is broadcasting the game.
    sports.yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  89. Come on AU let's take a LEAD and keep it!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. does lebo just tell them they can shoot it from egypt if they want to?

    ReplyDelete
  91. Peter, are you watching on Sunshine Network?

    ReplyDelete
  92. WAR EAGLE HOTTIES!! Regardless of the outcome..These guys play hard and work there butts off..I am proud to be an Auburn fan..WAR EAGLE!! BEAT FLORDIA!!

    ReplyDelete
  93. if you flip to espn or espn2, it makes you sick looking at how much better the picture is.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Tay Waller often takes bad shots. He's the best bad-shot shooter I've ever seen.

    You can't poop on him for that. The statute of limitations expires months ago.

    ReplyDelete
  95. And again Barkley.... Geez

    ReplyDelete
  96. I was just over at some friends house that aren't AU fans and they started bitching about watching basketball so I left...now I am watching alone..WAR EAGLE!!

    ReplyDelete
  97. What are these guys even talking about? Shut up and call the game...or better yet just shut up!

    ReplyDelete
  98. florida's bringing the ball down the floor and fss decides to take another random commercial on me.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Jay G., we're filing a class action against the whole team for poopy shot selection.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Are you kidding me? Well at least he missed the free throw.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Speaking of justice, that was not a foul and he deserved to miss the FT.

    Took a three to get us back to five. DARN!!!

    ReplyDelete
  102. did ya'll see how long it took for them to update the score..screw Raycom

    ReplyDelete
  103. the chances of vot making an easy basket are similar to the chances of tommy trott making an easy catch.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Barber knocking down the FT..sweet..

    ReplyDelete
  105. Andrew -- in response from previous thread -- Joe Dean Jr is a GREAT guy -- not pompous at all if you know him

    ReplyDelete
  106. Like I said ... no worries.

    ReplyDelete
  107. This comment has been removed by the author.

  108. Knox!!


    What?!?...How was that not a basket!!??

    ReplyDelete
  109. Yeah, Waller is the classic streak shooter. He either hits everything he puts up, or nothing he puts up.

    ReplyDelete
  110. why does that hoop not count?? we're getting jobbed!! Exactly the same as the calathes play.

    ReplyDelete
  111. NOW THAT'S TAKING THE LEAD..WAR EAGLE

    ReplyDelete
  112. OUTRAGE. INJUSTICE. FRAUD.

    EXPLETIVES!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  113. WHAT!!!NOW THAT WAS BS

    ReplyDelete
  114. if i could ever cuss on this board i wouild have because of that call

    ReplyDelete
  115. We just need to r-e-l-a-x! Still too tight. This game is ours if we do.

    ReplyDelete
  116. *$#%**#..better now...gaaa

    ReplyDelete
  117. Terrible passing...

    ReplyDelete
  118. These passes underneath are garbage, someone shoot the ball.

    ReplyDelete
  119. i deleted my bad word, but i still feel the same way.

    ReplyDelete
  120. surprised the refs didn't call that on AU..

    ReplyDelete
  121. I think I've forgotten how truly loathsome and despicable the Gators really are. That's the price paid for whipping them in football for so many years.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I never saw this coming with knox..He's been solid.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I have never had a comment deleted..very close just then..mad at friends..mad at refs..serenity now...serenity now...

    ReplyDelete
  124. Did that guy just say that he had been texting like crazy for for the Florida player?

    ReplyDelete
  125. Ok..The radio and tv audio is way off but I've had it...It's mute time..WLWI 92.3 all the way!

    ReplyDelete
  126. screw Raycom..I really am getting sick..

    ReplyDelete
  127. Hodge is the best player on our team

    ReplyDelete
  128. and Hargorve helps Flordia

    ReplyDelete
  129. i think they just want to wait until the last minute to take the lead....go out in style

    ReplyDelete
  130. Well, after watching the passing in this game, there ain't a QB on the court.

    ReplyDelete
  131. You're right for once, Brando. Florida is crappy. Good point.

    ReplyDelete
  132. This is ridiculous..these announcers..Jay who do we complain too?

    ReplyDelete
  133. i'm telling you, they don't want the lead right now. that would be too easy

    ReplyDelete
  134. Andrew, choosing Rod is a sure sign of desperation.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Good Lord! What a contrast it's been going from raycom florida announcers to whining rod. I'll take the good guys though...whining and all.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I am getting worried now. The rim is jinx. The ball is cursed. We cannot get a lead.

    And that was an offensive foul you %^%@#()()*@

    ReplyDelete
  137. ok now..mad at friends..mad at refs..hate announcers...WAR EAGLE!!!

    ReplyDelete
  138. OK...my hate for these announcers is rivaling my hate for Bama.

    Up by 1.....don't look back Tigers.

    ReplyDelete
  139. You said that right when I was typing depressed. He is in super-whine mode tonight! You hit the nail squarely on the head my friend!

    ReplyDelete
  140. Finally. Every break is going UF's way and we STILL take the lead over the crappy Gators.

    Even Brando is making sense.

    All is well

    ReplyDelete
  141. sorry he hit that three as I was typing and the next thing that came out was WAR EAGLE!! that was fun...anyway..uhh?

    ReplyDelete
  142. I just took preemptive TUMS in order to combat my future reflux due to horrific referees, announcers and my Gator relatives.

    ReplyDelete
  143. This thread is getting intense. Hells yeah! lol

    ReplyDelete
  144. Funny, wartiger...it all made sense to me.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Lathered up? Did Brando just say lathered up? What does the even mean?

    ReplyDelete
  146. Where you at Calathes!?!?!?! I soooooo wish tez had dunked on your mishapen head!

    ReplyDelete
  147. Yeah that was too bad.

    ReplyDelete
  148. OK...I'm gonna quit posting for a while...I don't believe I have ever posted 3 in a row. Need to step away from the computer ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  149. Andrew, I am all for a homer announcer, but according to Rod, AU is screwed in every game by the refs. Jim Fyffe, we miss you. Terrribly.

    ReplyDelete
  150. What up guys and gals?

    ReplyDelete
  151. Tigers have the mo, now!!

    ReplyDelete
  152. Let's keep our foot on the gas, Tigers.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Hey faker...sorry about Bama. I would rather play them than UT.

    ReplyDelete
