Their motto from the outset has been “unfinished business.” This group of veterans have remained on task all season. It continued Saturday night inside Vivint Smart Home Arena. And yes, there’s still plenty of work to be done. The No. 5-seeded Auburn Tigers blitzed No. 4 Kansas Jayhawks from the opening whistle and never relented in the 89-75 victory. The win was Auburn’s ninth consecutive during this streak and 11th out of its last 12 outings.
The Tigers, fresh off their serious first-round scare against No. 12 New Mexico State Thursday, showed zero signs of a potential hangover in round two.
