The Auburn star Johni Broome left Auburn's March Madness game against Michigan State because of an injury.

With 10:38 in the second half of the Tiger game with Michigan State, the star striker entered to block the shot of Frankie Fidler from Michigan. When he fell to the ground, he seemed to surpass his right elbow, which made him sit until medical help could be provided. He was brought to the changing room to further examine.
