Auburn's Broome Key in Elite Eight Victory

Auburn Tigers' star forward Johni Broome suffered a significant scare during the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight game against Michigan State, with concerns over both his elbow and leg after an awkward landing. Despite initially declaring 'I'm done' and leaving the game for evaluation, x-rays showed no serious injury, and Broome returned to play a pivotal role in Auburn's 70-64 victory, contributing 25 points and 14 rebounds. Coach Bruce Pearl confirmed that Broome will rest for two days but is expected to play in the Final Four against Florida. Auburn, advancing to its second-ever Final Four, will rely heavily on Broome's leadership and performance as they aim for a national championship. Fans and fellow players showed widespread support for Broome, emphasizing his critical role and the impact of his injury scare.
