re: Auburn 89 vs Xavier 88 game thread we win!

For whoever wanted a summary.

AU started off well. Boweres was dominating then got into early foul trouble. With Bowers on the bench AU went cold and was down by 13 at the half.

In the second half Malcolm Canada Ame alive. You could tell the MO from Pearl was to attack. Bow

ers and Canada were very aggressive getting to the rim and cutting the lead. A couple big blocked shots by Reed,a few steals from Ross Miller / Canada and a big 3 from Harell helped AU get it to overtime.

In the OTs more of the same. AU was getting to the rim, but so was Xavier. Once again Reed had a big blocked shot and Ross Miller got a turnover to help AU win. Canada hit some big time free thows as well.

We could have endes the game much earlier but sloppy fouls and turnovers were keeping Xavier alive. They shot like 26-29 from the line. We can not foul a good shooting team thag much like that in the future and expect to win. Crazy game.
