Scoring 97 points against North Carlina was a statement that the Midwest Region is now Auburn's to lose. MarchMadness

CLOSE SportsPulse: It went down to the buzzer again for Duke, but the Blue Devils survive and advance. USA TODAY's Jeff Zillgitt breaks down how they did it and looks ahead to their Elite Eight matchup with Michigan State. USA TODAY

Auburn makes Final Four-sized statement. Remember when Auburn almost lost to New Mexico State in the first round? That team was nowhere to be seen in a 17-point blowout of top-seeded North Carolina. And now the Tigers are the biggest bracket buster of the NCAAs. The Tigers shot 67 percent from beyond the arc in the second half to finish with 17 3-pointers, seven of them coming from reserves as Auburn got 40 points off the bench.
