A great season for the Auburn Tigers came to a disappointing end on Saturday night as they fell to the Florida Gators, 79-73, in the Final Four. Tigers star big man Johni Broome valiantly battled out there despite clearly being hindered by the injuries he suffered in the Elite Eight, and he looked defeated as he trudged off the floor.
On his way to the locker room, Broome was met by Charles Barkley, noted Auburn alum who openly roots for his former team on the CBS broadcast every year. The former standout big man offered comfort in the form of an embrace to Broome after Auburn failed to advance to the national championship game.
