The Auburn Tigers were down double-digits at a couple of points in the first half of Sunday’s Elite Eight showdown vs. Kentucky.
However, at halftime, the Tigers managed to close the gap to 35-30, and it was thanks in large part to some nice drives to the hoop by PG Jared Harper.
In the video below, though, Harper actually missed a layup, but Anfernee McLemore was there for the incredible put-back slam:

The ball was below the rim when McLemore grabbed it, but he still managed to throw it down with authority. He finished the half with four points. Harper leads the way for the Tigers with eight.
Whatever happens after halftime in Kansas City, it’s sure to be a thrilling finish.
