Auburn Stems the Tide, Takes Down Alabama 83-77
John Reed-USA TODAY SportsCinmeon Bowers led Auburn to a victory tonight in one of his best games as an Auburn Tiger.
Auburn started hot with two Bowers threes and some great rebounds and tip-ins. He also was part of a split technical call for some trash talk, and that's a good microcosm of the first half officiating.
The first half was a game of runs. Auburn started the game on a 10-2 run. Alabama answered with a 22-4 run of their own. Then Auburn came back on a 23-6 run. Most of the last 4-5 minutes were back-and-forth, but Alabama ended ona bit of a run of their own, as they cut the Tiger lead to 3 right before the half at 40-37.
