Auburn tops New Mexico 83-78 in Hawaii

The Tigers are 5-3 so far on the year and are coached by Bruce Pearl – which means they have a long, athletic team that will run the floor. Canty hit a 3-pointer that put the Tigers up 60-51 with 9:20 to play. The game stayed tight with the Tigers taking a 32-31 lead into halftime. Bowers who is averaging 12.9 points and 9.9 rebounds in 28.2 minutes per game is a double double machine will have to keep up with the Lobo bigs on the defensive end the best thing to do would to be to attack Bowers as he is not a shot blocker. We got worn out in the second half.

Crowell is the first Browns back with at least 140 yards rushing since Peyton Hillis ran for 184 against New England in 2010…. Left tackle Joe Staley wasn’t alone in saying that the 49ers took the Browns lightly and paid for it with a 24-10 loss Sunday.

“He talked about it so much we had no choice but to come out with energy”, Dunans said. Auburn also had some pretty shots from behind the arc with Kareem Canty, TJ Lang, Bryce Brown, and Jordon Granger hitting threes in the first half.

The Rainbow Warriors got a second straight 30-point game from point guard Roderick Bobbitt as the tournament’s host team ended the game on a 28-7 run after trailing by nine with 9:25 to go.

“It was a gut-check time”, Pearl said on the Auburn post-game radio show. However, Hawaii scored the final eight points. Auburn won both of the first two games against the Rainbow Warriors, most recently in the 2011 Diamond Head Classic.

Harris had his fifth double-double of the season and first since scoring 20 points with 11 rebounds in a 78-71 win over Mercer on December 15. The Warriors took advantage, going 25 of 34 from the foul line, including 19 of 25 in the second half, compared to 9 for 13 for the Tigers. Horace Spencer fouled with 5:29 remaining and Harris fouled out at the 2:03 mark. I do not believe either team is capable of holding the other team’s offense to under 80 points, but the Lobos have proven already this season that they can win in a shootout, ignoring their recent loss to the Rice Owls.

“Harvard played great defense, ” Pearl said. Bowers is averaging 2.3 fouls per game so he is not normally in foul trouble but he may struggle with the quickness of Aget and Williams from the Lobos.
