What was once a season where Auburn had dreams of a national title ends with a whimper in Greenville.
The Tigers fall to 10-seed Miami 79-61 tonight in the Round of 32 in the worst game the Tigers played this season. While many thought that guard play would be the end for Auburn at some point, it was the All-American combination of Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler that didn’t provide any spark tonight as the Tigers were eliminated from the NCAA Tournament.
Smith and Kessler combined for just 12 in an awful effort as Miami was able to frustrate the Tigers from the start with more aggressive defense than the Auburn seemed to expect.
