Overview
- Auburn advanced to its second-ever Final Four with a 70-64 win over Michigan State, led by Johni Broome's 25 points and 14 rebounds.
- Broome sustained injuries to his left leg and right elbow during the game but returned to play after X-rays came back negative.
- The Tigers are practicing without Broome early in the week, with plans to reintegrate him later as he continues rehabilitation.
- Auburn will face Florida in the Final Four on April 5, a rematch of their regular-season loss where Florida won 90-81.
- Auburn's depth and defensive intensity proved critical in the Elite Eight, maintaining their lead during Broome's absence.
