As everyone knows by now, key Auburn F Chuma Okeke went down with a torn ACL during Friday’s blowout win over No. 1 seed North Carolina.
He had been playing so well, scoring 20 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and playing smothering defense when he went down in awful fashion.
Now, the Tigers are trying to regroup and beat SEC rival Kentucky to advance to the Final Four, but it won’t be easy without Okeke. Prior to tipoff,

Can the Tigers rally without him? We’re about to find out.
