About Last Night: Auburn 78, New Mexico State 77

Now that we’ve all caught our breath from yesterday’s near-upchucking of what should have been a fairly convincing win, we can relax a bit. Auburn will have over two days to get some rest and get more used to the elevated air in Salt Lake City before tipoff tomorrow night against the Kansas Jayhawks.

Yesterday’s final — 78-77 — was way closer than it should’ve been. At times Auburn led by as many as 13 points, but crumbled down the stretch. We had to rely on missed free throws and a missed last-second three to advance over New Mexico State, and the attitude after the game was something akin to a funeral.
