Auburn managed to shoot a high percentage and build a 10 point halftime lead against #1 seed Houston, but all the shooting percentages went south in the second half as Houston used its elite defense and great free throw shooting to eliminate their deficit and pull away late. Johni Broome and Jaylin Williams led the way with 14 points each, but both missed more shots than usual and left points on the table. Auburn's season ends in the second round of the NCAA tournament, and now the conversation will turn to recruiting and the potential turnover on this roster.
