Auburn men lose at Vanderbilt

Hey everyone. Jeff Lebo and the gang lost their fourth SEC game in five tries today in Cashville, 82-74.

Auburn led by 13 points early in the second half. The Commodores went on an 11-2 run ... and the rest is history.

Lucas Hargrove led the way with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Vanderbilt was led by Jeffrey Taylor's 18 points.

The Tigers (10-10, 1-4) resume play Thursday night against Ole Miss. That one will be played at The Beav.

Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I was kidding, jhag. I said "lesser men than you," a sarcastic take off the old "better men than you" insult (that's been thrown at me a couple of times here). I do know I'm bigger and older than you, though. How that translates to throwing off a bench, I have no idea, and wouldn't care to try.; 7:33 PM

LuvAU1968 said...: I don't know how anyone can follow the HABOTN on an iPhone - esp. when there are this many posts. It's too much of a PITA scrolling up and down, so that's all I have to say tonight. WAR EAGLE!!
