Wednesday night’s contest pitting Auburn against Ole Miss in Oxford was a slightly earlier tip-off than usual. The match began at 6 PM and I missed a solid ten minutes of the first half. However, after leading for half of the first period, Auburn trailed the Rebels for the entire remainder of the first half, that is until a wild last possession by Kareem Canty.
After a Cinemon’s Bower‘s foul led to two made free throws, Coach Pearl could be heard ordering Canty to hold the ball. Canty obviously wanted to take the last shot as time dwindled down with the shot clock turned off.
