ATLANTA -- With 10:27 to play in the first half of Auburn's 70-64 win over Michigan State in the Elite Eight on Sunday, Johni Broome connected on a 3-pointer from the wing, extending an early rainstorm for the Tigers.
The crowd came undone after Broome's shot gave his team a 15-point lead and capped a 17-0 run. As the national player of the year candidate celebrated near midcourt, he was surrounded by his teammates.
"I do this!" Broome yelled at the outset of his 25-point, 14-rebound effort. His teammates tapped his chest and agreed with him.
By then, it appeared as if the game might already be over, because it was clear that Auburn had the best player on the court.
