Auburn senior guard Denver Jones put the finishing touch on the Tigers’ victory over No. 9 Creighton with a clutch and-one play late in the game, sealing the win with Steph Curry’s signature “Night Night” celebration.
With Auburn leading 76-68 and under a minute left, Jones drove to the basket, absorbed contact, and finished the shot while drawing a foul. As he hit the floor, his teammates rushed over to lift him up in celebration. Once back on his feet, Jones made the now-iconic “Night Night” gesture, signaling the end of Creighton’s tournament run.
Auburn went on to win 82-70, powered by Tahaad Pettiford (23 points), Chad Baker-Mazara (17), and Jones (15). The Tigers now move on to the Sweet 16, where they will face No. 5 Michigan on Friday, March 28.
