The rest of the country may have gnashed their teeth when Auburn ran the Jayhawks out of the building and the casual better may have muttered expletives, but Auburn fans weren’t surprised. Auburn sent a message to the rest of the country, or at least those outside of the SEC.
The Tigers are the hottest team in college basketball and they showed that when they raced out of the gate, thanks to six-of-eight from beyond the arc to start the game. Kansas led the game for mere seconds after hitting the first basket of the game, but Auburn manhandled the physical looking Jayhawks by doing what they do best, another big game from Bryce Brown and a 13-30 team effort from downtown.
