Alabama 83, Auburn 64: Tide stands tall to snap Tigers win streak
by Chris DePew, TideFans Staff

Alabama held No. 4 Auburn to under 32 percent shooting and cashed in on 21 turnovers to run away with an 83-64 win over the previously unbeaten Tigers at Coleman Coliseum.

What did we learn today?: Nobody in the home locker room was scared to meet the emotion of this rivalry or reputation of Auburn and its shiny new Final Four banner head on. The Tigers aren’t quite the same team that went on a massive postseason roll last March, but they returned several key pieces, added talented newcomers and had master motivator and underrated tactician Bruce Pearl on the bench once again.

It appeared so last night - if they can sustain it.

Looked like it to me. AU pulled within 3 quickly in the second half and yet Bama was able to hold them off and even pull away.

Our uphill battle is leveling off as we head into the meat of our schedule. The effort is there and Nate has these kids playing their hearts out for him. But we have growing pains to weather this season so it will remain a bit rocky. All I know is that this TEAM is light years ahead of where we were last year and with a stellar recruiting class or two...gonna be looking good, real good.

May be this Nate Oats guy knows what he's doing.

It was hard to tell with them all dancing and celebrating, seemed like it was one big blur of happiness
