Coach Bruce Pearl will be making
his first Final Four appearance too.
In getting to the Final Four the Auburn team won their games against New Mexico, Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky. WOW!!!
One of our players was injured during the North Carolina game (Chuma Okeke...torn ACL). The team finished the game for Okeke, and he placed Auburn's name on the bracket for the Elite Eight.
In pain, Okeke was watching the Auburn/Kentucky game from his hotel room. As Auburn was struggling just a bit in the first half, Okeke decided he needed to be at the game. He arrived, Auburn played for a win and they won.
FINAL FOUR...here we come...WAR EAGLE!!!!!
...and Toomer's Corner was rolled.
