Auburn Tigers bow out of NCAA tournament early, NBA prospect Jabari Smith noncommittal on future.
Auburn's frontcourt, expected to be a strength for the team against guard-heavy Miami, offered little. In addition to Smith's struggles, Walker Kessler played just 13 minutes and he wasn't on the court for the final six minutes of the game. Head coach Bruce Pearl said that after Kessler got in early foul trouble, Auburn preferred a lineup that featured Smith and Jaylin Williams instead.Not what a great game we played but how bad Auburn played. Really pathetic how these SEC panderers treat us.
