Auburn def. Lehigh, 85-49 (NCAAs)

Hey everyone. I missed the first half while waiting for treatment at a local walk-in clinic. Sorry about that. We're picking up at halftime.

  • FINAL
    Auburn wins, 85-49.

  • FOURTH TO @ 5:!5, 2nd
    Auburn leads, 76-49. Out of control. Auburn is so good in transition.

  • THIRD TO @ 7:39, 2nd
    Auburn leads, 69-49. They're trading baskets now, but Lehigh is doomed.

  • SECOND TO @ 11:24, 2nd
    Auburn leads, 62-40. KeKe Carrier is in the game. She's 2-for-2 from the floor so far. If the Tigers want to make the Final Four, Carrier will have to emerge as a competent, reliable option off the bench.

  • FIRST TO @ 15:59, 2nd
    Auburn leads, 54-34. Lehigh actually has gotten a few good shots. They cannot finish. It's obvious to anyone watching this game that DeWanna Bonner is more than Lehigh can handle. They can't properly staff that defensive matchup.

  • HALFTIME
    Auburn leads, 45-30.

  • Game is on:
    Channel 214 (DirecTV)
    Channel 146 (Dish Network)

    If you're not in Alabama or Pennsylvania (and don't have satellite), you're SOL.

  10. You think they could have made the Rutgers R in mid-court a little bit bigger?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Jay G, so do you feel well enough to go live blog the baseball game from Plainsman Park?

    Oh, and thanks for being here.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  16. I have a crush on Boddie, love the hair puffs!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yeah, I don't see how that was a foul on Carrier. All ball, there.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Their 44 is hotter than our 44.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Poor KeKe....the refs really don't give her a chance, do they?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Thanx for the channel info J. I was watching the round robin on the deuce.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Holy Spring Break traffic, batman! Guess nobody told midwestern college students that there's a recession.

    ReplyDelete
  22. KeKe is so graceful...

    ReplyDelete
  23. I have a picture of Keek standing alongside Alli.

    It's funny to me.

    ReplyDelete
  24. SXSW on the 101 this weekend if anyone cares. Also check out Trailer Park Boys on the 101 every week.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I am convinced that there is no broadcast available that meets the Hotties' standards.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Nell lookin sharp in the blue today.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Peter, I agree...Jay needs to start the HABOTN network.

    ReplyDelete
  28. AU parking deck is the place to be for baseball today!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Couldn't have a better day for baseball.

    ReplyDelete
  30. yeah, the commentators also commented on Nell's blue coat

    ReplyDelete
  31. Nova up on UCLA 33-18 1st half...

    ReplyDelete
  32. wow..just heard the pep band...is that kids from NJ gone home or did AU send them?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Jay, how did Rutgers end up with the two home game possibilies being a lower seed? Is it just where the regions are located?

    ReplyDelete
  34. That is awesome!!! The lens was on her face. I have them and drop them in the sink all the time.

    ReplyDelete
  35. The schools/sites bid on these brackets. Auburn didn't submit a bid.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Gotcha. Prechae, alah she said.

    ReplyDelete
  37. keke is so much bigger/taller

    ReplyDelete
  38. Keek is not a FT shooter.

    ReplyDelete
  39. 79-49...hope this doesn't make them too relaxed

    ReplyDelete
  40. I love watching the AU women play! They play so well. Sorry you're feeling bad, Jay. Must be all that "Yankee" air up there. AU men looked great last night.

    ReplyDelete
  41. That's pretty cool...every player for Auburn has scored in this game.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Nice yell....It's Great to be an Auburn Tiger!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  52. Off to the gym and then...tada! To the AUPD. (AU Parking Deck) Everyone welcome. Later.

    ReplyDelete
  53. True or False - Auburn would've beaten UCLA today
    I say True -- we're a better team based on their performance today

    ReplyDelete
  54. BigEZ, give us some score/stat updates while you're up there.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Listening to the Memphis v Maryland game.....Maryland players must've forgotten that they talked smack this week

    ReplyDelete
  56. We were better than a few teams in the tournament, but the tournament is not set up to have the best 65 teams. It's set up to have a group of teams who have the talent to win a national title, and a group of teams who can excite the fans and win a game or two.

    Auburn didn't have the talent to win a national title, and we weren't one of the little guys that could bring excitement with a sweet 16 run.

    ReplyDelete
  57. It looks like Memphis came to play today.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I agree Barkley -- I'm not crying foul that we're not in...just stating that I think we would have beat UCLA today. Not many times in my life that I can make that statement in hoops.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Memphis up 53-30 in the first half.

    War Eagle, Hotties! I hope you're feeling a little by now, Jay G. The Lady Tigers kicked some Mountain Hawk butt! I just checked my bracket and Harrison and I are still in the running! Congrats to she said who is currently in 2nd place!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Jet-I'm thinking either Coldstone Creamery or Marble Slab or Brusters later tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Todays games have all been duds so far.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Bottomof 2nd in Auburn and we are down 3-1.

    ReplyDelete
  68. just picked up some ben and jerry's chocalate macadamia--this can't be bad.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Haqggert two run tater. 3-3 bottom of 2nd.

    ReplyDelete
  70. acyaully it was Hargett.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I kinda like Memphis kicking some elitist smack talking ACC butt...that being said. that's as far as my love for C-USA goes. The conference sucks, the refs suck, and Memphis even being in it is bobo.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Anyone got a baseball score?John Luke Jacobs's stats? Ding Dongs?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Thanks WTC, didn't see your posts.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Just baked the cookies ... have "The Great Divide" -- Blue Bell vanilla and chocolate halfsies in the carton.

    That will be dessert tonight after I cook burgers on the grill for Turbo, Stewardess, and this guy who seems to be hanging around the house as the Stewardess' appendage. This is new, disturbing territory.

    Very disturbing.

    ReplyDelete
  75. WTC ...

    I always endorse Brusters.

    ReplyDelete
  76. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh how I would LOVE to see Jet being a Daddy. HAHAHA
    You be nice to that sweet boy, Jet.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I am doomed.

    UConn has scored 48, 55 and 51 in three halves of play.

    Of course, I picked them to win it all. They are peaking way too soon.

    Maybe I need to shoot Calhoun. Win one for the coach thing.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Get used to the appendage hanging around. I tried to take one as a deduction on my taxes this year. Maybe I should let my daughter jnow I really like him. I think that may run him off.

    ReplyDelete
  79. EZ,

    You need to change to AUPD to the Ding Dong Deck. Make a big sign saying as much, and have numbers you can hang to keep a running tally throughout the season.

    ReplyDelete
  80. No dice, Monica. He's a Bammer. Possibly a Bamzo. This remains a bone of contention between me and the Stewardess.

    I thought the shovel and the shotgun standing together in the corner by the front door was a nice touch.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Mistake, Daddy. You're going to drive that child right into the arms of that school in tuscaloozer.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Peter-Jacobs is pitching and he has given up 4 hits. No long balls though for ARK.
    Bottom of 3rd. Still 3-3.

    ReplyDelete
  83. ha @ using the appendage as a tax deduction - nice one, Scotty

    ReplyDelete
  84. oops that was WTC, not Scotty

    sorry :-)

    ReplyDelete
  85. Mon - you were absolutely right about Tetons.

    ReplyDelete
  86. uconn has been killing people of late. that's why my bracket will crumble if they don't win it all.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Jet,
    Forget the shotgun. Get a large knife, think Bowie. Let him see you frequently sharpening it and eyeing him.

    I'm with you, no Bamers near my girls.

    ReplyDelete
  88. My bracket's already starting to crumble. I thought Maryland could make a bit of a run.

    I have UConn losing to Duke in the final.

    ReplyDelete
  89. A slightly crazy look while sharpening the knife might help.

    ReplyDelete
  90. At the end of 4, still 3-3.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I hope Wake Forest burns to the ground

    ReplyDelete
  92. AU changes pitchers. Still 3-3. Ark has runners on 1 & 2 with 0 outs.

    ReplyDelete
  93. We could not hold'em. 5-3 ARK going to the bottom of the 6th.

    ReplyDelete
  94. H Morris with a solo shot. 5-4 bottom 6th, 1 out.

    ReplyDelete
  95. double play. after 6 5-4 ark.

    ReplyDelete
  96. All 5 runs charged to Jacobs, or were some unearned?

    ReplyDelete
  97. 4 charged to jacobs.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Jacobs line:
    5 innings
    5 hits
    4 earned runs
    6 k's
    4 bb
    2 hbp

    You still on the road?

    ReplyDelete
  99. Yep. getting close, though.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Update:

    Stewardess attacked me with water hose in backyard. Soaked me head to toe.

    Stewardess' appendage to get the full show tonight ... top 10 most embarrassing stories to start.

    Should be fun.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Not a great outting by JLJ, huh? The thing is, though, that if there was a deep, dependae bullpen, Auburn would be in almost every game with a start like that.

    ReplyDelete
  102. 1st & 2nd 1 out, bottom of 7th

    ReplyDelete
  103. ha Jet. He's either going to become your best friend or be terrified of you. Either outcome sounds like mission accomplished.

    ReplyDelete
  104. bases loaded 1 out

    ReplyDelete
  105. family jst rolled in for the beach, guess who pulled right behind them. How did he know they were getting home at thi time?

    ReplyDelete
  106. Jet-Godfather on AMC.

    ReplyDelete
  107. ARK pitching change

    ReplyDelete
  108. Sanders switha single and two runs score.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Hope you get to feeling better Jay!

    Good game ladies! Hope they're ready for a tough one in the round of 32.

    Hope everybody that can will be at the game on Tuesday night!

    War Eagle and go Heels..beat the piss out of LSU!

    ReplyDelete
  110. Thanks for the heads up, WTC.

    I am of a mind to treat Stewardess' boyfriend and future boyfriends the way Michael treated Connie's interests in The Godfather, Part II.

    ReplyDelete
  111. 6-5 AU after 7.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I think Turbo Prop needs a larger role, Jet.

    ReplyDelete
  113. hubbard replaces Hendrix on the mound.

    ReplyDelete
  114. TurboProp would be more the style of the "settling all family business" with the Five Families.

    He's working on his plan to implode Denny Chimes.

    ReplyDelete
  115. ARK 1st & 2nd no outs.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I'm not a fan of using Austin for more than one inning. I understand there are options to rest him, but I believe 3 outs are enough for the closer.

    ReplyDelete
  117. ARK with a single two runs score 7-6 ARK

    ReplyDelete
  118. Alright, just pulled through the neighborhood gate. First 200 miles flew by today, but these lasy 430 did not. Thanks to WTC for baseball updates, and Jay G and the Hotties for basketball coverage that got me through a long lonely drive .

    ReplyDelete
  119. Glad you made it home.
    AU has 1st & 2nd with 0 outs in the bottom of the 8th.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Nothing in the eigth.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Peter-do youlive in Tampa?

    ReplyDelete
  122. I think he lives down in South Florida.

    I am in Tampa.

    LSU is giving UNC all they can handle, I still expect UNC to pull away as the game goes on.

    ReplyDelete
  123. wheels come off. Ark 10-6 going to bottomof 9th.

    ReplyDelete
  124. when daughter was younger we went to disney three time per yearuntil my child turned 14, then it cut backto about 1 or two. They loved it. I took one for the team every time. Long trip each time. gald they are into other things now.

    ReplyDelete
  125. game over 10-6 ARK. Can't make your closer go two innings.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Nice work today, wtc!

    ReplyDelete
  135. ehyou ...

    I join you in your hate. Death to the Infidels!

    As for W. Ky., how many times does it happen ... a team scores with less than 10 seconds to go and then watches a guy go the distance with the ball to win.

    As for Duke, it's amazing ... no wonder they're the Devils, they've made a devil pact.

    ReplyDelete
  136. And Duke keeps my faint hopes alive.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I know jet, its like they score, then get so excited they forget all about defense. WKU hardly even tried to stop them.

    ReplyDelete
  138. You've got to make the guy pass. Shoot, you're almost better to foul on the inbounds play .. not really.

    It looked like there 1.1 when the ball went through. Not giving the TO was rather weak of the officials.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Well, it's a been a full day for me.

    You kids have a restful evening.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Slow night, considering the good games on CBS tonight.

  150. Way to represent, JHag and Shesaid. Gotta say, Shesaid, you're even spookier looking at 2:30 a.m.

    After the games last night, I watched the "true crime" show that came on after the hoops.
    It was a woman charged with staging her husband's suicide.

    After ignoring Mrs. Jet all day watching hoops, I didn't sleep very well.

  151. Anonymous8:41 AM

    Good Morning, Hotties! Sorry you didn't sleep well last night, Jet. I didn't get to watch any of the Tourney yesterday because we were too busy with household chores. YUCK!

    I just checked the HABOTN Hotties bracket and Harrison has quietly moved up to 3rd! Alas, I'm still in 13th, though.

  156. I have Syracuse in my Final 4.

    That's probably not a good sign for them.

    They almost let that lead slip away. The Nova game should be a good one.

    ReplyDelete
  160. Anonymous11:57 AM

    Hoopie is currently is 56th place and would have to be nearly perfect from here on out to win. That is consistent with his basketball accumen.

    Harrison (currently in 3rd place) has the same final 4 as Hoopie therefore blocking a miraculous comeback sans perfection.

    This is written in 3rd person as acknowledgement of Harrison's dominance.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Jet - i saw that 48 hours last night too - i woke up this morning and thanked my wife for not shooting me in the head and staging it as a suicide. btw - I think her boyfriend did it while she was walking in the dark.

  165. jhag, first tell them that you're playing shirts and skins...and they gotta skin off...

    then you gotta figure out who you're most athletic ones are, the fastest one, and the 1 girl who can actually throw, and the 1 or maybe 2 that can catch...

    then draw up a few simple plays...

    ReplyDelete
