Yahoo Sports’ Jason Fitz and former Big 12 player of the year Marcus Morris Sr. react to the Tigers 70-64 win over the Spartans in the Elite 8 of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Video Transcript The Big 10 hasn't won a men's college basketball championship in 25 years.
That streak will now continue because Michigan State falls to Auburn 70 to 64, and for only the second time ever, we have all 1 seeds in the Final Four. Janai Broome, Marcus Moore Senior, Jason Fitz, Marcus, Janai Broom was the story of this game for Auburn. SEC Player of the Year, man, he came to show up when his team needed the most.
25 and 1410 to 13, 2 from the floor. He dominated his game. He took control early and he put the Auburn on his back, man.
SEC Player of the Year, and I see why he got that award. Yeah, I mean, he played part of this game with a dangling arm after what he went out with what looked like a bad hyperextension or something of his elbow. He came back in and still hit a big bucket when they needed it.
Like Michigan State had no answer when they were either going at Auburn or when they were trying to defend Jana particularly. I mean, we knew that at some point, Michigan having scoring wools would kinda get back to them, you know, they've been getting pass and winning by defense, but another really good team from the SEC, well, the best overall team. Uh, in the tournament, as they say, cause they were the number one seed, but, uh, we knew that that would happen and, you know, it, it exposed them, and they had a really good player that they could slow the game down and Auburn threw him the ball and, you know, he delivered.
He's a really good player. Uh, it'd be, it'd be interesting to see how that injury plays, um, in this next couple of days. Well, let's talk about the next couple of days and give you some flowers, brother, because, uh, last time I checked when we started this entire thing, you were the one, we could pull it up, we'll show the world when we started our tournament coverage, you picked all the ones going to the Final Four, so kudos, but you got Florida beating Auburn.
You still feel good about that where we sit right now? I mean, Houston's a really good team. Um, all 4 teams have played really well. Um, I can say that Houston has been, um, the most confident team, the most aggressive team.
They're, they've been winning off their defense. I like where Duke sits. Uh, I'm still gonna rock with Florida.
They just seem like the more deeper team. They have a guy that can get it from all three levels of scoring, and I really, uh, I really think that their death will play a big part in them being champions. I can't stress it enough.
Again, since 2008, this is the first time we've seen it and only the second time ever, but this year there were clearly 4 amazing teams in college basketball. All four number ones advancing, by the way, pay a lot of attention to Marcus's men's bracket. Don't pay attention to mine at all.
