No. 10 Miami Never Trails, Upsets No. 2 Auburn to Punch Ticket to Sweet 16

In what’s already become an upset-laden men’s NCAA tournament, No. 10 Miami (Fla.) became the latest to join in on the madness, downing No. 2 Auburn 79–61 on Sunday night.

The Hurricanes scored the first basket of the game and never trailed on their way to victory in the second round Midwest Region matchup. Jim Larrañaga’s team led by just one point at half but turned on the jets in the final 20 minutes, outscoring the Tigers 46–29 in the second half.

Miami was led on offense by Isaiah Wong and Kameron McGusty, who poured in 21 points and 20 points, respectively.
