Auburn Stuns Michigan State with Johni Broome’s Heroic Return

Auburn star Johni Broome returned from injury in dramatic fashion, leading the Tigers to a 70-64 victory over Michigan State in the South Regional final. The fifth-year senior, who was holding his elbow and wincing in pain earlier in the game, scored a crucial triple that sealed Michigan State’s Final Four hopes. Broome finished with 25 points and 14 rebounds, while Auburn dominated from the start to claim their second Final Four berth in six years under coach Bruce Pearl. The win marked a stunning turnaround for the Tigers, who were considered done after four losses in the tournament, but instead rode Broome’s heroics to another Cinderella story.
