Auburn is heading to the Final Four for the second time in school history after toppling Michigan State 70-64 in the Elite Eight on Sunday. The Tigers' victory ensured the Final Four will feature all four No.

It certainly took a full 40 minutes, but Auburn basketball did what was needed. The Tigers took down 2-seed Michigan State in the Elite Eight, and they're heading back to the Final Four for the second time in program history.

The emotions were brutally raw. Tears flowing from every corner of the locker room, long embraces, towels slung over heads. Slumped over a folding chair and still in uniform, Tre Holloman was inconsolable.
