How Sweet It Is: Miami eliminates Auburn 79-61
The Miami Hurricanes are returning to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2016.
The Canes ran Auburn out of the building 79-61, outscoring the Tigers by 17 points in the second half. Miami was just dominant on both sides of the ball, with their transition offense on full display from the start. They won the turnover battle 13-4 and turned those takeaways into a 30 to 1 advantage in fast break points. Thirty. To. One.
Isaiah Wong led the way with 21 points and added 6 rebounds, but it was his thunderous dunk over Auburn superstar Jabari Smith that blew up the internet.
