Miami blazes for upset win over Auburn, advances to Sweet 16 for first time since 2016
2 seed Auburn in a 79-61 upset victory in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Sunday in Greenville, South Carolina. Auburn (28-6) never trailed by less than eight points thereafter, ending its season in shambles after beginning the season 22-1. Fourteen team assists in the second half kept the Hurricanes rolling for 46 points. A 9-for-38 shooting display in the second half and 22 allowed fastbreak points didn’t help the SEC regular season champions, either. Miami held Auburn to 17 points under its scoring average.
