The Auburn Tigers dominated No. 1 seed North Carolina on Friday night, and Chuma Okeke was the best player on the floor, scoring 20 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
Sadly, he didn’t make it to the end of the game, as he went down with a knee injury late in the second half. On Saturday, it was revealed that he tore his left ACL.
The Tigers have very little time to process that injury, though, as they’re playing Kentucky on Sunday with a spot in the Final Four on the line. As you can see below, they’re rallying behind Okeke, and Auburn’s Twitter account sent out this heart-wrenching “Do it for Chuma” video:

Okeke will be with the team on Sunday before heading off to have surgery on Tuesday. Can the Tigers keep this magic run going?
