No. 1 Auburn had a big second half to pull away from No. 9 Creighton 82-70 and advance to the Sweet 16.
The Blue Jays led 37-35 at the break before Auburn flipped the game in the second half. The Tigers outscored Creighton 14-6 after the game was tied 48-48 with 14:44 remaining even though Chad Baker-Mazara had to be subbed out because of a hip injury.
Baker-Mazara had sparked the Tigers in the second half and injured his hip driving to the lane. He made two free throws after getting fouled on the play, but fell to the ground as he asked for a replacement while jogging backwards up the court.
