Auburn blows past Kansas to reach Sweet 16. MORE:
SALT LAKE CITY -- Bruce Pearl's Auburn rebuilding project took a massive leap.Bryce Brown scored 25 points and hit seven 3-pointers, leading Auburn to an 89-75 takedown of mighty Kanas Saturday night in the Midwest Region.
Auburn took another major step Saturday, running past a blue-blood program into the school's first Sweet 16 since 2003 under Cliff Ellis. Auburn had a 17-point lead before the midpoint of the first half and kept pouring in shots, hitting 13 3-pointers while shooting 53 per cent against one of the college basketball's premier programs.The Jayhawks hoped they would get the ticket to KC, where they would essentially play Sweet 16 home games as the No. 4 seed.
With Kansas having to extend its defence, the inside opened up for the Tigers, who made 20 of 36 shots lead 51-25 by halftime. Brown was 6 of 8 from 3 and had 17 points by the break.They made up one point.
