00:00The Auburn Tigers in the South region in South regional final

00:03yesterday evening in Atlanta, Georgia against the two seed in

00:07Michigan State. Could Tom Izzo and the Spartans play spoiler

00:11Auburn who had struggled down the stretch of the regular

00:14season into the SEC tournament dropping three of their final

00:17four entering the big dance. Would this be their undoing? Not

00:21quite the Tigers win by 670 to 64 Auburn covers as a five and a

00:27half point favorite to claim the South regional crown in

00:31Atlanta, a total of 147 and a half does stay well under as

00:37well. And Joe, we said at that final score with Auburn still

00:40covering but only by the hook, not truly indicative of how

00:43dominant the Tigers were really from about the 15 minute mark in

00:47the opening half until about the three minute mark in the second

00:50half when finally Jaden Aikens and MSU got going offensively,

00:55but it was mostly an all Auburn game in Atlanta, Georgia

00:58yesterday evening.

01:00It was all Tigers all day. And we kind of knew that this was

01:05going to be the biggest test for Michigan State that a team that

01:10let's be honest here, Ben could not shoot the three. What you

01:14had done a really good job of playing very bad in the first

01:18half, but managing to be able to limit the opponents in the

01:22second half to give themselves a chance to come back and win

01:25some games. But that was simply because other teams couldn't

01:28make shots in the second half. But that was not the case. I

01:32think Auburn won that game in the first half. I think at that

01:35point, what you saw there I it was a different beast for

01:39Michigan State. They were not at any point to me coming back in

01:43that game in the second half.
