After a dismal first half, Bama has surged to a 45-42 lead on the back of Collin Sexton.

51-42 with 12 to go!!!  Sexton doesn't want his season to end.

Down by 10 at half, Sexton hits 3 straight 3 pointers, Ingram and (finally) Petty hit 3s, Auburn goes cold, and Bama has about a 10 point lead.   :clap:

Hitting a few shots has spread Auburn's defense out and opened up some passing lanes as well.

31 for Sexton now.  Bama up by 18 and going to the line with 4:21 to go.

The goat humpers should have fresh legs for the tournament.

We are in Boy’s!

Bama beat the booger eaters by 18.  Who saw that coming?

Nasty fall by Donta Hall. I hope he is OK.

Got home in time to see Bama up by 22. Couldn't believe my eyes.  :o

Sexton being interviewed said "When we have fun, we win". I hope they have a blast the rest of the year.

Bruce Pearl and Bama's S&C coach had words in the hand shake line.  I would love to know what that was about and what was said...  :popcorn2:

Bruce is pizzed for getting his butt handed to him.

I guess y'all are buckled up again?  :lol2:

I bet the S&C coach said something about all of Bruce's 1st team SEC players...   8)

I'm no fair weather fan.   >:( :slowsmile:

Pearl being an azz after the game. He got mad at our S&C  coach. I think for being in the arena. They showed what happened and it looked liked Pearl bumped into him. Our guy was just standing there. He never moved.

The barbers good just is falling apart at the most important time.

Alabama out-scored Auburn 50-22 in the second half, including a 28-3 run to start the half.   8)

I pull for them, but I have to admit, most of the time they are hard to watch. Got tire of my feels getting hurt, game after game for a while.

Looks like they were truly enjoying themselves for the short time I watched them. That feeling needs to carry over for them. My buckle is never far away.

Well done guys. Let's ROLL. RTR!

Key to the game:
Second half defense. Auburn lead by 10 at the half but did not hit a field goal in the 2nd half until the 9:45 mark. By then Bama was up double digits.

Pearl is a putz.

Anyone heard anything about Hall's condition/availability?

Haven't heard anything about Hall, but it didn't look good.  His head bounced off the floor.  I would not be surprised if he won't play because of concussion protocol.


That had to be one of the best halves of basketball I have seen Bama play.  I do wish they would look more confident on the outside shot.  I think the hesitancy to shoot them causes many misses.  The last few games before the tournament looked like the teams were taking away the drive and sitting in the middle to force the outside shots.  Bama didn't respond well.  Hopefully, this game will allow Bama to play with more confidence.  I pray Hall is ok.

It's fun when it's working!

After watching the video with Bruce Pultz and the Bama strength coach, the strength coach had established position and Pultz ran into him.  I would call it a charge on Pultz.

I wonder who moved the most? RTR!
