ACC/SEC Challenge: NC State Falls To Auburn + Cowboys Vs Lions Tonight

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss NC State's loss to Auburn last night in the ACC/SEC Challenge and the Cowboys vs Lions game tonight.

No. 20 Auburn defeated NC State 83-73 in the ACC/SEC Challenge last night. Auburn was powered by standout performances from Kevin Overton and Keyshawn Hall. Overton scored a career-high 29 points on efficient shooting, going 8-for-13 from the field, 6-for-9 from three, and a perfect 7-for-7 at the line, while adding nine rebounds. Hall contributed a dominant 28-point, 10-rebound double-double and hit key shots, including a crucial three-pointer during a 10-0 second-half run that helped Auburn pull away. The Tigers shot exceptionally well, hitting about 59% overall and 55% from beyond the arc and maintained control despite an early 13-0 NC State run that briefly tied the game. The win extended Auburn’s nation-leading streak to 65 straight home victories in non-conference play. What does Will Wade think of his team’s performance?

The Detroit Lions host the Dallas Cowboys tonight on Thursday Night Football in a game that is pivotal for both teams’ playoff hopes. The game kicks off at 8:15 PM ET at Ford Field in Detroit, with Detroit entering at 7‑5 and Dallas at 6‑5‑1. The Lions are fighting to stay in the NFC wild‑card hunt, while the Cowboys are riding a three‑game winning streak and aiming to maintain momentum. Dallas brings one of the league’s top offenses while Detroit will have to navigate the injury bug. On defense, Detroit is dealing with injuries, especially in the secondary and on offense, wide receiver Amon‑Ra St. Brown is questionable and tight end Sam LaPorta is out. Last season, Detroit had a dominant 47-9 road win over Dallas. Will Detroit win again?
