Baylor def. Auburn, 74-72 (NIT quarterfinals)

Hey everyone. We made ESPN! Thanks to the HOTTIE who made this happen.

DeWayne Reed missed two free throws with less than 10 seconds remaining, allowing Baylor to cling to a one-point lead. After a Baylor free throw bumped the visitors' lead to two points, the Tigers raced down the court for one final possession.

Rasheem Barrett, whose sharp shooting boosted Auburn throughout the second half, missed the final shot from 23 feet.

Auburn ends its season 24-12.

Jay G. Tate said...: We soooooo need a vid cap of that sign.; 6:35 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: treintedos; 6:35 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I don't Hate the orange jerseys either way, but I noticed Friday that they certainly don't look so bad in person. I'm on board.; 6:36 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I stopped by earlier and had the Baylor's Intentional Foul guy almost land in my lap after mauling Rasheem.

The crowd is in the 7000 range, I'd say.; 6:36 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: we're bad, we're nationwide!; 6:36 PM
Miller said...: decent crowd.... certainly not an embarrassing showing on national tv...; 6:38 PM
Monica said...: Scott - I'm diggin that avatar. ;-); 6:38 PM
Kathy said...: Auburn 24 Baylor 24 5:32; 6:39 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: If someone local has it on dvr, I think Frankenbrother (a new lurking hottie) has capture abilities. He can come get it.; 6:39 PM
Monica said...: freakin ft's; 6:39 PM
Kathy said...: Auburn 27 Baylor 26 4:55; 6:39 PM
Kathy said...: That didn't last long. Baylor up by 2 now.; 6:40 PM
Kathy said...: Where was our defense?; 6:41 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Shoot Reed; 6:41 PM
Kathy said...: Thank goodness for the 3s. Auburn 33, Baylor 31 3:06; 6:42 PM
Monica said...: what a sweet pass and shot; 6:42 PM
Kathy said...: He was wide open under the basket. Tie game.; 6:42 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Shoot the three continues from Friday to Tonight....except it's falling some today; 6:43 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: okay, enough 3s....; 6:44 PM
Kathy said...: Finally took it to the basket.; 6:44 PM
Miller said...: Don't you just cringe every time we go to the FT line?; 6:45 PM
Kathy said...: I hate it when we go to the line.; 6:46 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Threes are going to be the key as long as Baylor keeps running that zone.; 6:46 PM
Unknown said...: DMiller...I've got the game DVR'd...I need to look for the sign..I guess I missed it.; 6:47 PM
Kathy said...: Baylor has some quick guards.; 6:47 PM
Monica said...: Miller I think they wear those long sleeves because they are compression for muscle support and made of a material that absorbs sweat and is anti stinky.; 6:47 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: It's not anti-stinky.

I wear em for basketball as well. I can attest.; 6:49 PM
ehyou said...: Will Lebo's primary criteria for recruiting be the ability to shoot the free throw next year?; 6:49 PM
Miller said...: there is no such thing as anti-stinky when you're playing roundball; 6:50 PM
Kathy said...: That was a fast half.; 6:50 PM
Monica said...: HA There ya go, Daddy Bear busting the anti stinky claim.; 6:50 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Good first half, we are in far better position than we should be right now.

They got a ton of easy layups and dunks, if we can cut that off we should be in good shape in the 2nd half.; 6:51 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: we have bears here? Run Harrison, Run!; 6:51 PM
Monica said...: Miller - Under Armour calls it HeatGear and one of the claims is "Anti-Odor". Anyway, that's the answer to your question. Next?; 6:52 PM
WarEagleRK said...: ehyou,

His primary concern needs to be to get some size on the team. Barber is the only size we have and he's done.; 6:52 PM
Miller said...: DQ advertisement is just WRONG!

I'm hungry.; 6:52 PM
Kathy said...: Agree RK. We need to start going to the basket in the 2nd half, too.; 6:53 PM
ehyou said...: what a sweet pass and shot

Listen to Monica with the hoops-speak....you go girl; 6:55 PM
ehyou said...: We need to jack up more 3s in the second half; 6:57 PM
chip chip said...: i missed most of the first half 'cause my two year old pooped the tub! i seem to have made as good a recovery as AU. both kids are now clean, disinfected and ready for bed.; 6:57 PM
Monica said...: my hoops speak is minimal, but thanks for the love, ehyou; 6:57 PM
Harrison said...: PF- never run from a bear. don't you watch discover channel?; 6:58 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I doubt Monica's ever played Mens College Basketball,though, so how credible is that comment, really?; 6:58 PM
Miller said...: chip....we really didn't need to know all of that...; 6:58 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: make yourself appear as large as possible in front of a bear, in the hope that they will be scared.; 7:01 PM
ehyou said...: Please discontinue all poop-speak. It can get out of control in a hurry.; 7:01 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I love kid pooping in the tub stories.

Harrison, my key to survival around predators is to always take someone who is slower than me and will also run. The discovery channel doesn't condone such behavior, but refuses to deny that it works.; 7:01 PM
chip chip said...: i was just comparing my recovery from disaster to AU's...; 7:02 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: i was in a bano in monterrey once and...; 7:02 PM
Monica said...: from hoop speak to poop speak = bad move; 7:02 PM
Harrison said...: whatever, that makes you look like a big, delicious snack; 7:02 PM
Miller said...: I dont think I ever pooped in the tub... I peed in the refrigerator once though...; 7:03 PM
scott,will not,from tucson said...: omnica with the bear avatar. run harrison, run!; 7:03 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: just stopping in for a halftime look-in.

nice early vid JG.

if we can stop giving Baylor those open looks inside i think we can win this thing. war eagle!; 7:03 PM
WarEagleRK said...: "We need to jack up more 3s in the second half"

Is that possible?; 7:03 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: End of poop talk. Now.

Thanks.; 7:04 PM
Monica said...: I hope Daddy Bear, Jay G. Tate has played Men's College Basketball and football. Otherwise, Peter the Hater will deem him not credible.; 7:05 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: didn"t use the bano in Monterey, I waited to get back to the compound in Saltillo.; 7:05 PM
Miller said...: HABOTN tv again...; 7:05 PM
Cotton said...: I'm not sure when i'm cringing more... when Auburn goes to the charity stripe or when they shoot 14 threes in a row.; 7:06 PM
Monica said...: HABOTN.COM sign on again along with a face. HA HA That is too funny.; 7:06 PM
Unknown said...: hey guys..I've got the sign paused on my tv screen...; 7:06 PM

Monica said...: wtg Brian; 7:07 PM
Unknown said...: I can make a pic and try to email it if anyone wants it...; 7:07 PM

Kathy said...: Under the basket, +1!; 7:07 PM
Kathy said...: Of course, +1 means very little to this poor FT shooting AU team!; 7:08 PM
Monica said...: I still don't know what your problem is with me, Peter, but I wish you would keep it off the HABOTN. Don't really need the extra drama.; 7:08 PM
Harrison said...: chip.. did the puppets tell you to leave them off....or..are you a puppet?; 7:08 PM
ehyou said...: I like my 3s from at least 4 ft from outside the line.; 7:08 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: smile a little.; 7:10 PM
Kathy said...: And Baylor hits their FTs.; 7:10 PM
chip chip said...: they were number 4 until i started the potty speak.

apologies.; 7:10 PM
ehyou said...: If it's not on the list, ain't it obvious Harrison?; 7:10 PM
ehyou said...: I'm glad for once that Mikl isn't here, it'd never stop.; 7:11 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Brian, my email is on the main thread.

Peter, play nice.; 7:13 PM
Monica said...: Brian - I'd love a copy of the HABOTN sign pic. My email is monica_wareagle@yahoo.com; 7:15 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I was making fun of the caller from the radio the other day and an old comment that I thought was super funny and witty from Mon. There was no malice, and the only drama is in the explanation. Hugs for everyone.

By the way, my humor sucks. I can't say that enough around here...; 7:15 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I just got an email from a dude in Maui ... said "small sign on espn worked"

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I vow to take a HABOTN anywhere there's a TV camera.; 7:22 PM

Kathy said...: OK, now I'm really tired of hearing those whistles.; 7:25 PM
Miller said...: I think we could get a HABOTN sign plastered at every telecast possible...

JGT could offer up front page props to the 1 who get sthe most prominently placed sign...; 7:25 PM
ehyou said...: I'll be so glad when Tebow is gone. My wife has an unabashed crush on him.; 7:26 PM
Kathy said...: DEFENSE; 7:26 PM
