NCAA Auburn vs. Iowa

 The Tigers enter the NCAA tournament at Legacy Arena perhaps a slight favorite over Iowa. Auburn is seeded #9 with Iowa #8.   Good draw starting in Birmingham although we should face highly ranked Houston if we win this game.  Auburn has been up and down this season.  We lost the first game of the SEC tournament with a slow, slow, start, finishing fast although not fast enough to beat Arkansas.  Iowa is supposed to be a high scoring team.  Auburn is not high a high scoring, strong shooting team.  I expect us to lose particularly if we have a slow start.

FIRST HALF

Very early on the energy level seems to be about the same on both teams but no doubt Iowa is the better shooting team.  First time out Auburn 8 Iowa 6.

Midway first half: Auburn 14 Iowa 12

21 - 14

Half : Auburn 31 Iowa 26

SECOND HALF

Halfway thru the second half: Auburn 58 Iowa 41

FINAL Auburn 83 Iowa 75
