AUBURN, Ala. — Because they play in an old-school arena outfitted with wooden seats, it seems fitting that the Auburn Tigers ended the University of Tulsa's basketball season by effectively deploying an old-school basic — aggressive man-to-man defense.

TU relies heavily on center Jerome Jordan and guards Ben Uzoh and Ray Reese, but on Friday the Golden Hurricane stars had a rough experience.

In a second-round National Invitation Tournament contest witnessed by 4,092 at Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum, Auburn rolled to a 74-55 victory. Jordan and Reese scored a combined total of nine points on 4-of-15 shooting.

I will be the first to say that our old "Barn" is rather 'cruddy'. Its best just to laugh at it rather than argue it...

Remember what happened to its predecessor. The boys from Baton Rouge aren't coming to town this season, but on Halloween night Ole Miss will be visiting Jordan-Hare.

Hopefully AUBURN can close out the old barn with a victory. The new arena is way overdue, its nice that the BB programs are getting a new home.
