Boy, did that look ugly.
But hey, we won! We actually did it. We didn’t end up being a trendy upset victim in the first round of the tournament, like some other teams did. We faced adversity, and we ended up beating a scrappy and talented Charleston Cougar team that had no fear about going up against a 4-seed.
Auburn 62, Charleston 58. Low-scoring game, yes.
It was tied at 25 at halftime after Auburn allowed a 7-0 run by the Cougars to tie it up just before the intermission, and Auburn didn’t hit a three until the first basket of the second half.
