With 12 minutes left, Florida State at home is beating Florida 53-40. Yes, a 13 point lead.

Top 5 teams on the road are not guaranteed wins. I’m just saying.

Sorry, had a lot of off-line things to do. Just got back. Fire away.

Halftime: Pitt leads 44-39. Pitt shooting really well, but Aurburn hanging tough.

I never got to post this link yesterday, but Auburn basketbal has been struggling mightily with getting anyone to show up for the games.

The average announced attendance at Auburn’s previous home games is 3,160. However, the realistic number is much closer to just 2,000 per game.

“It hasn’t been great,” Lebo notes. “We’re used to it. It’s been hard for our guys.”

In an effort to help the needy during the holiday season as well as increase attendance for the game against the Panthers, there will be free admission with an unwrapped toy as part of a Toys for Tots drive. Tickets for the general public are just $10 and student tickets are free to the first 500 and only $2 after that.

“They said when I got here that you’ve got to bring in better non-conference people in here to play, and I don’t know if we can get any better than this one,” Lebo notes.

It’s not like the football team had a game yesterdy.

Final: Here’s the box score. Despite free tickets, they only got around 6500 for this game, officially. Fields had a horrible game — probably his worst as a Panther, Kendall didn’t do any scoring but led in assists with 5 and grabbed 9 rebounds, Gray with a workmanlike double-double (16 points, 12 rebounds) and 6-7 on free throws. Antonio Graves provided the 1st half spark with 12 of his 14 points for the game and 5-5 shooting in the half.
