When we look back at Auburn’s Final Four run, we have to remember that THIS is the game where it all finally clicked and the run to Minneapolis began.
Auburn had come into this game falling by 27 points to Kentucky in Lexington and were 7-7 in the SEC and some people were saying that this team “didn’t deserve to be in the tournament.”
As crazy as that sounded, one way to silence those critics was to put some wins together. But this one didn’t come easy, (what does for Auburn?). Auburn played this game down 2 guys as Auburn were without both Austin Wiley and Malik Dunbar due to injury.
