For just the second time in the history of the sport, all four No. 1 seeds are dancing into the Final Four. And, Auburn’s recent 70-64 win over Michigan State played its part in making that happen. Now, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. The Tigers had a bit of a scare when Johni Broome went down with 10:37 left. But he came back a few minutes later like nothing happened. And actually, Auburn didn’t exactly look like a team on the verge of an upset. But fans believe, from the get-go, it wasn’t just Tigers game, it was refs game, too.
Michigan State had its moment, briefly cutting the lead to 35-30 early in the second half. But, the Spartans just couldn’t find a rhythm offensively. Their guards struggled to create plays, their perimeter shooting was ice cold, and Auburn’s athleticism was just too much. Simple, right? Well… not according to fans.
Because, they believe the real MVPs weren’t in orange, they were in stripes. “Auburn hasn’t done anything this second half. Just coasting and getting carried by the refs,” one fan ranted. Another added, “Sloppy refs tonight, and Auburn is just getting every bounce. Hard to win when the whistle’s against you.”
Really sloppy refs tonight and Auburn is just getting every bounce their way it’s just hard to beat this
