Auburn basketball on the road in the SEC:
Tonight's game was painful to watch. It was a win, a 2 OT win over a pretty bad Ole Miss team by a single point, but it was a win. A win plagued by disjointed, dispassionate play but a win. A win that looked at times like they were trying to shit peach pits, but a win.
Ill-advised shots at ill-advised times. And still. A win. Some of the most egregious home-cooking I've ever seen from the refs. Constant Rebel walking went uncalled. Numerous out-of-bounds awards that should have gone AU's way didn't. Their kid with the alopecia face (or whatever) went to the foul line if somebody looked at him, we were getting mugged and raped at the other end with no call. And still. A win.
I hope there were some lessons learned. Maybe we grow from it.
BTW, I'm taking credit for the win. Were behind, badly, and playing like ass when I turned it on. Things changed for the better once I was assisting from my living room.
