Auburn Tigers guard Miles Kelly welcomed himself to March Madness with a roar.
The senior, who had missed out on the NCAA Tournament during his first three seasons with Georgia Tech, scored 12 points in the opening five minutes Thursday before finishing with 23 total in Auburn's 83-63 NCAA Tournament first round win over Alabama State at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. He scored a bulk of his points from beyond the arc, connecting on 7-of-15 opportunities.
ASU, who's campus is just a mere 55 miles from Auburn's, did not go quietly however.
