FINAL FOUR BOUND: Auburn 77, Kentucky 71

Cinderella only got to party until midnight, but it feels like we’re out way past our bedtimes right now.

Pigs have flown, a rarity has happened, Auburn is going to the first Final Four in school history.

Auburn beat Kentucky 77-71 in a hellacious overtime war in the Elite Eight to advance to next week’s Final Four in Minneapolis. In a season during which the Tigers only made their second ever Elite Eight, the dream continues by playing into April. With today’s victory, the winning streak now stands at 12 straight games, and Bruce Pearl’s group avenged the blowout loss to the Wildcats in Lexington on February 23rd.
