Beating Tennessee

What. A. Basketball Game!
The Tigers beat Tennessee 84-80 in Auburn Arena to conclude the regular season.  Great basketball game with two great teams.  Tennessee is a very, very good basketball team.  They look like final four material to me.
This is as exciting a game and win as I can remember in a long time.
Great crowd especially given that it's the start of spring break week at Auburn.
Tennessee led 41 to 35 at the half.  I thought at that point they would probably win because the Vols are simply a good team.  Auburn takes control with the lead late in the game.  At one point our shot gets blocked; Samir Doughty gets the block and makes the three as the shot clock expires to give Auburn a 6 point lead.  That was the play of the game.
We see on TV with ESPN there Auburn Arena rocking after the game.  Great finish at Auburn Arena for our seniors.  That makes 11 and 7 in the conference and 22 and 9 overall.
What a game!
