Good Morning, Auburn Family. Miles Kelly tied Bryce Brown’s March Madness program record with seven 3-pointers to lead top-seeded Auburn to an 83-63 victory over 16th-seeded Alabama State Thursday at Rupp Arena in the NCAA Tournament round of 64. 

One of four Tigers in double figures, Kelly led Auburn with 23 points, hitting his seventh 3 with 2:23 to play to tie the record Brown set vs. Kansas during the Tigers’ Final Four run in 2019.

“I’m a shot maker,” said Kelly, who was 7-for-15 from long range. “My teammates did a great job of finding me. All I had to do was knock down the shot. It’s cool to do something like that, especially in March. Bryce Brown was a great shooter for Auburn. It’s special.”

Auburn advances to tomorrow’s round of 32 against ninth-seeded Creighton, an 89-75 winner over eighth-seeded Louisville in Thursday’s first game. Tipoff time is TBD.
