War Eagle, everybody! This morning, I just have to take my hat off to the Auburn Tiger men’s basketball team. Even when the shots were not falling early, these Tigers battled and battled, and stayed in the game with mighty Kentucky. The Wildcats were mired in a bit of a slump coming in, but this was still a powerful team with good players, and I think they showed that. Auburn pulled away late, and outhustled the Wildcats 76-66.
If you had told me that Auburn was going to miss 15 of its first 16 shots in the early going, I would have predicted a huge Kentucky lead.
