Rapid reaction: No. 4 Auburn whips No. 12 North Carolina, Maui Invitational finals up next

At times, Auburn's win over North Carolina on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning?) looked an awful lot like the 2019 victory in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 16. That season, Auburn led North Carolina 41-39 at halftime and opened the second half on an 11-2 run to open up a lead they wouldn't relinquish. In this Maui Invitational semifinal, Auburn led North Carolina 40-33 at halftime and opened the second half on a 12-2 run to open up a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Final: Auburn 85, UNC 72.
