War Eagle, everybody! For the first time in Auburn history, Auburn will play a 5th game in the NCAA basketball tournament. Auburn will face the number one seeded Virginia Cavaliers in US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN, in the Final Four. The winner goes on to the national title game.
Virginia is a great shooting team that likes to milk possessions down to the end of the shot clock, and limit opponent opportunities. Auburn has faced a team like this earlier in the season, and lost both games to Ole Miss. On defense, Virginia runs the notorious Pack Line defense, designed to protect the rim and limit three point shots.
