The men's basketball team won at Aubrun, 87-58. This was out first road win of the year, and a dominate win at that, but if you asked Billy, "There wasn't a whole lot of fancy stuff". It might not have been fancy, but it was Auburn's worst home loss since 1952. To accomplish that we relied on "good defense and hot shooting". Now that is a formula that will win some games. As I posted earlier I was not able to listen to, or watch this game. I do not think I was alone on that. All of the major Texas papers ran the same AP report. Here is a quick highlight of the game. And of course, my favorite, the box score. Acie was red hot (shot over .61), so was the team for that matter. Auburn was not hot, shooting around .30. That must be the good defense and hot shooting.

In a continuing saga, seven guys logged more minutes than Joe. Was it the fouls? It does not seem to be at first glance. He did have four, but only 2 in the first half. The game log shows Billy benching him for 3 minutes after missing a lay up and then fouling. Later in the first he fouled again with 8 left, and Billy sat him for the rest of the half. Joe found early in the second, and sat for about 10. Looks like Billy is trying to teach him to play without fouling.


My two favorite players got some press. Marlon and his magic foot are nuts of defense and Kirk is a"glue guy."
