They were partying on the Plains Friday night. Auburn fans even treated Toomer’s Corner to a spring “roll.”
The AU faithful were celebrating the Tigers’ big 97-80 upset win over No. 1-seed North Carolina in the Sweet 16. Bruce Pearl’s squad moves on to the Elite Eight for an all-SEC showdown with No. 2-seed Kentucky.
Fans who weren’t in Auburn last night or those who want to relive the celebration can check out some of the videos that were shared to social media. You can only imagine how wild the celebration is going to get if Auburn wins in the Elite Eight or Final Four.

Video wouldn't post earlier, but Toomer's Corner was insane tonight. People just flooding in by the thousands, sprinting from wherever they were watching the game.
