AUBURN STARTERS:

PG Kareem Canty
SG TJ Lang
G/F TJ Dunans
F Tyler Harris
F/C Cinmeon Bowers

FIRST SEGMENT
Auburn leads, 8-6. The Tigers are 3-of-5 from the floor. Not bad. They also have three turnovers. Not good. Auburn seems intent on working the perimeter with Bowers (??) and let Harris + Dunans slash inside. Hey, it's working.

SECOND SEGMENT
Auburn leads 14-12. The Tigers went on an 11-0 run there. They are 5-of-9 from the floor. Getting good looks -- and Bryce Brown came off the bench for a triple. Half of Auburn's points are off turnovers.

PEARL CALLS TIMEOUT @ 10:16. He's "unhappy" with how sloppily Auburn is handling the ball on the scoring end. Six turnovers.

THIRD SEGMENT
Auburn leads, 23-19. Turnovers, y'all. Auburn has seven of 'em. Shooting well, getting good looks. Sloppy passing and ball-handling is killing them. Cim Bowers is 2-of-2 from long range. Cliff Ellis is giving him that shot and he's eating it up.

FOURTH SEGMENT

Auburn leads, 31-25. Bryce Brown has been a big part of this game so far. He's hit three shots from the perimeter. I feel like Auburn is toying with these guys on the scoring end. Better rebounding and ball-handling will turn this into a blowout.

HALFTIME
Auburn leads, 44-37. Cim Bowers is called for a flagrant foul with 10-ish seconds left in the half, which led to FOUR free throws plus possession for the Chants. I thought it was completely unjustified. Bruce Pearl's reaction suggests than we're on the same page there. CCU turned that into a five-point surge to make this thing seem closer than it really is. Auburn is shooting 50% overall, 44% from three, 86% from the line.

Bryce Brown leads the team with 10 points.

FIRST SEGMENT OF THE SECOND HALF
Auburn leads, 55-44. The Tigers are 4-of-5 from the floor so far. More of the same. Dunans has five points since halftime, 10 points overall. He's a second-half player.

10-MINUTE MARK OF THE SECOND HALF
Auburn leads, 70-53. The Tigers keep knocking 'em down from all over the place. It's an incredible shooting night: 49 percent from the floor and 43 percent from three. Auburn has five guys in double figures (Dunans, Bowers, Harris, Lang, Brown) while Canty has nine. Very strong scoring performance.

FINAL
Auburn 81, Coastal Carolina 78.
The Tigers closed the game by hitting 2 of their final 12 shots from the floor -- after a remarkable start. Tyler Harris served as the undercover hero as per usual, scoring 21 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
