AUBURN, Ala. -- Jared Harper buried a 3-pointer on Auburns first shot of the night, and the Tigers never stopped hitting them.With Danjel Purifoy scoring 27 points, a short-handed Auburn team tied the Southeastern Conference record with 21 3-pointers in a 117-72 victory Thursday night over Coastal Carolina.The Tigers (7-2) raced to a 56-27 halftime lead and continued that 3-point barrage throughout the second half. They wound up 21 of 42 from beyond the arc and matched the fifth-most points in school history.I dont even know where those shots came from but everybody was making 3s out of nowhere, said Purifoy, who was 5 of 10 from beyond the arc and has two 27-point games in a row. Walk-ons coming off the bench and making 3s. It was fun to watch.Kentucky also made 21 3s in 1990 and Arkansas matched that in 1997. Nine Auburn players made at least one 3-pointer a day after starters Bryce Brown and Horace Spencer were suspended following their arrest on misdemeanor marijuana possession charges.Walk-on Will Macoy got into the act with eight points and a pair of 3s in just five minutes late in the game.Purifoy also scored 27 points in Auburns 72-71 loss to Boston College on Monday.Harper was 5 of 6 from 3-point range and scored 16 points with seven assists. Mustapha Heron added 17 points and seven rebounds for the Tigers. Ronnie Johnson added 11 points and T.J. Dunans 10.I think from the standpoint of what its supposed to look like, what it can look like, that was about as good as its gotten since Ive been here, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said. I didnt see it coming given all the adversity that weve had this week.But adversity tends to reveal character. And perhaps in some ways our character got revealed tonight.Elijah Wilson led Coastal Carolina (5-7) with 22 points and Jaylan Robertson had 12.Auburn closed the first half on a 31-5 tear.Without question, Auburn played lights out, Coastal Carolina coach Cliff Ellis said. Youve got to give them all the credit.It was 25-22 and then all of a sudden it just went haywire and shots started falling. It just caught on with everybody. I think everybody started feeling the magic.Missing two starters didnt slow the Tigers down. LaRon Smith and TJ Lang took their spots.I feel like they felt like they let the team down, Auburns Anfernee McLemore said. They were more upset that they couldnt fill their role on the team.McLemore played a bigger role with Spencer out and produced nine points and eight rebounds.BIG PICTURECoastal Carolina: Fell to 5-14 against teams from Power 5 conferences since the 2010-11 season. Got 15 points in the first half from Wilson, and 12 from the rest of the team.Auburn: Improved to 5-0 at Auburn Arena this season. Previous school record was 19 3-pointers. Outrebounded a team that came in second nationally in total rebounds, 48-40.ELLIS RETURN: Coastal Carolinas Ellis led the Auburn program from 1994-2004. He led the Chanticleers to a win in 2014 and took the Tigers down to the wire in an 81-78 loss last season.UP NEXTAuburn: Hosts Mercer Sunday before more high-profile games away from home against Oklahoma and UConn.Coastal Carolina: Hosts Wofford on Monday night for their final home game of 2016.Alejandro Bedoya USA Jersey .

They have not won a Super Bowl since 1995, and after coming within a whisker of the conference championship game in 2014, they plummeted to a 4-12 mark in 2015. The Cowboys success seems to be tied to Tony Romos health. If Romo is healthy, they win. When he isnt, they lose. The arrival of Dak Prescott seems to have changed the narrative a little, but the rookie quarterback is still learning as he goes and it is impossible to know yet if he is truly the real deal.Whats goodThe Cowboys title track checks in at No. 40, thanks to their storied history and the fans belief that even when things are bad, a title cant be too far away (despite the drought, only 10 NFL teams ranked better than the Cowboys in the team has won or will win at least one championship in my lifetime). Its true that the Cowboys have an offense that can carry them if all of the pieces are healthy. They have the best offensive line in football. Rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott should be one of the best in the NFL. Dez Bryant is healthy once again. And even with Dak Prescott performing well in Romos absence, the Cowboys are still Tony Romos team. If Romo can stay healthy, the Cowboys can score a lot of points, protect their defense and be the best team in the NFC East.dddddddddddd Is that enough to get them to Super Bowl LI? That seems a little much.Whats badA 106th-ranked bang for the buck proves it: Paying high ticket, concession and parking prices is a lot easier when a team wins. The Cowboys didnt win in 2015, so it becomes a little more painful. AT&T Stadium is the best of the NFL, but it comes with a price (the fourth-highest average ticket cost in the NFL, and the leagues most expensive parking). Off the field, the Cowboys have managed to cash in with their $1.2 billion stadium. On the field, they havent. They have a sub-.500 record at home since they moved to Arlington in 2009.Whats newComing off a 12-4 finish to the 2014 season, things were looking up for the Cowboys in the coaching department. Head coach Jason Garrett was rewarded with a five-year, $30 million contract after the Cowboys made the playoffs, but then they slipped to a 4-12 finish. The fans noticed, dropping the Cowboys coaching rank 37 spots (to No. 96) and their player rank 28 (to No. 81). Both of those drops come down to Romos injuries: With a healthy Romo and Bryant, Garrett went 12-4. Without them, he went 4-12 -- and the team won just one of 12 without Romo. While blaming a lack of depth is reasonable, the Cowboys were competitive in enough games that coaching could have made a difference. Garrett might find himself at least on a moderately warm -- if not hot -- seat in 2016.Next: New York Jets?| Full rankings ' ' '
