Best game of the year so far probably. Auburn was down 15 with 11 minutes left and came back to force OT. In OT they were down four with under 20 seconds left and came back to force a second OT. They had game tying layups in the last five seconds of each. In the second OT they were down 9 and had a three to cut it to one with 13 seconds left but missed it. So 115-109 final for UCONN. Game had an elite 8 feel, just no one backing down either way. Fun to watch, and not sad Pearl lost. Not that I’m a Hurley fan either.
An understatement about Smith. He looks to me to be a possibility to be the #1 pick in next year's NBA draft. Auburn is going to be a load this season as Smith and Kessler hone their games.
Yeah but K. D. Johnson was the best player on the floor for Auburn. uga has to be sick about losing him. Smith has huge upside and may be dominant soon but atruggled a bit there at end of regulation. I'm sure he'll be a whole different player in March. Kessler shows promise.
Georgia also lost their point guard to Kentucky. That kid will lead the SEC in assists this year, as he did last year at Georgia.
