It took overtime. But the Auburn Tigers were able to rally in the second half after being down 11 early in the first half and still down 5 at halftime. Jared Harper was unbelievable – scoring 26 points and leading the Tigers to the 77-71 overtime victory.

It didn’t matter that they were playing a Wildcats team that had beaten them twice this season. It didn’t matter that they lost Chuma Okeke – who tore his ACL against UNC in the Sweet 16.

And so the last non-champion has been eliminated. It will be the SEC Tournament Champion Auburn taking on ACC regular season champion Virginia in one half of the Final Four. And then Big 12 regular season champion will await the winner of ACC Tournament Champion Duke and Big 10 regular season / tournament champion Michigan State.

Now the game many of us have been waiting for since the brackets were announced. Blue Devils and Spartans is coming!!!!
