War Eagle, everybody! This evening marks Auburn’s third game in the 2019 NCAA basketball tournament. Auburn will drew a 5 seed in the midwest bracket, and will face the 1 seeded North Carolina Tarheels in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. This area is noted for hosting NCAA Basketball events. The winner of this game will move on to the Elite Eight.
Altitude won’t be an issue, this time around, as Kansas City is only about 900 feet above sea level. For comparison, Auburn arena is 653 feet above sea level, while the first round tournament games Auburn won, were played at over 4200 feet.
