This past Saturday we went to the annual A-Day game here in Auburn. For those unfamiliar with what we (and Bama folks) call an A-Day game, it is when between 40,000-90,000 people come to their respective stadium to see their team play each other. More like a glorified open Spring practice, but one because it [...]
This was probably the toughest loss in Auburn Basketball that I have seen in person. Down to the wire with about 8 seconds to go Reed had a chance to shoot two free throws to win the game, missed both, and Barrett came back with another chance to win with a 3-point shot and also [...]
Tonight Auburn beat Tulsa in round two of the NIT advancing to the quarter final on Tuesday night against Virginia Tech or Baylor. This is the first time Auburn has ever made it to the quarter final round in the NIT and on Tuesday they will play for their chance to go to New York [...]
Tonight Auburn played UT Martin in their opening game of the NIT, and won 87-82 in a hard fought game. It was great to see Auburn back in the NIT and with the win today, the next game will be on Friday against either Tulsa or Northwestern. It was a three point shoot out in [...]
Auburn ended their home basketball season on an up note beating #11 ranked LSU 69-53. This ended a season that started off looking like all the others over the last 10 years and now looks like a possible NCAA bid. They will head to Tampa for the SEC Tournament and then hopefully on to the [...]
Yesterday Auburn beat Mississippi State 91-76 with Tay Waller having a career high 32 points to lead the Tigers to a good SEC conference win. This team is hard to figure out. They play hard, they fight, and they give their all, and they win games they probably shouldn’t and loose games they should win. [...]
I love walking around in the heart of Auburn sports on campus. For the basketball game today we parked in the Jordan Hare Stadium parking lot, as many do, and I shot this photo as we walked by the stadium. Directly across the parking lot is the new $92.5 million Auburn Basketball Arena being built [...]
Auburn went back to the conference play today and we went to see the 1:00 pm start in Auburn against Vanderbilt. Perhaps a game Auburn should have won but in the end Auburn came up short. It was all offense on both sides today with no one playing a tight defense. As always Deb and [...]
Today we went to see the #6 Auburn Tigers vs #10 Tennessee Vols basketball game, which drew an all time record crowd of 12,067 fans. This was the largest crowd to see a basketball game in Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum ever in its current configuration. Listed as a maximum as a 10,500 feet arena, it [...]
What a great game Auburn played today. It was a total domination by Auburn and Alabama never really got going at all. Where was this team when they played the Florida Gators last week? They hit 3-pointers, free throws, played a great defense and actually stepped it up on offense. Mark Gottfried (see photo below) [...]
