The Michigan State Spartans men's basketball team has been eliminated from the 2025 NCAA tournament. The No. 2 seed Spartans fell to the top-seeded Auburn Tigers on Sunday afternoon 64-70 in the Elite Eight round of the tournament.

Auburn basketball is heading to the Final Four for the second time in program history. Here is a look at five stats that got them there.

Auburn's star is National Player of the Year candidate Johni Broome. The 6-foot-10 post threat is Duke star Cooper Flagg's primary challenger for the coveted award. Broome enters averaging 18.5 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 blocks. The fifth-year star will be a handful for the Spartans' strong frontcourt.

Broome was dominant against the Spartans and returned late in the second half after appearing to sustain a game-ending injury
