ATLANTA -- With 10:27 to play in the first half of Auburn's 70-64 win over Michigan State in the Elite Eight on Sunday, Johni Broome connected on a 3-pointer from the wing, extending an early rainstorm for the Tigers.

The crowd came undone after Broome's shot gave his team a 15-point lead and capped a 17-0 run. As the national player of the year candidate celebrated near midcourt, he was surrounded by his teammates.

"I do this!" Broome yelled at the outset of his 25-point, 14-rebound effort. His teammates tapped his chest and agreed with him.
