Bruce Pearl and his Auburn Tigers are playing the Michigan State Spartans for a spot in what would be the program’s second Final Four. Everything looked good heading into the final 10 minutes. The Tigers were up by 10 points, and it seemed almost certain they’d be advancing. But then, disaster struck.
Broome took a hard fall on the court and stayed sitting in pain for several minutes. He got tangled up with Spartans forward Frankie Fidler and appeared to hyperextend his ankle. There’s been no update on his injury status yet, but the Tigers may have to finish the game without their best player.
