The Auburn Tigers had one of the more surreal second halves in memory last night, getting dominated but still getting 17 fouls called in their favor (including seven in a 4-minute stretch). They were also blocked eight times, which couldn’t have helped their self-esteem.
We decided to make a handy list of every War Eagle second-half possession – each line is a separate trip down the floor. All blocks are italicized, all fouls are in bold, and each made shot is in all-caps with an exclamation added each time they hit one (they hit only four). At least four Houston Cougars had four or more fouls, and we’ve tried to clear that up with photos.
