Rembert drives in four, Irish cracks 3-run home run and Auburn advances to super regionals
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Chris Rembert drove in four runs, Ike Irish hit a three-run home run and Auburn advanced to the super regionals with an 11-1 victory over N.C. State on Sunday night.
Andreas Alvarez (3-1) pitched five scoreless innings, allowing six hits and striking out five. Cade Fisher pitched the last four innings and picked up his second save. He allowed three hits and one run.
Auburn (41-18) is in the super regionals for the fifth time. The Tigers have reached the College World Series twice in the super regional era and six times overall.
The Tigers broke open a scoreless game with seven runs in the fourth inning, highlighted by Irish's bomb to right field. Rembert had a two-run single in the inning and added a two-run double in the fifth.
Bub Terrell had three hits and drove in two runs and Chase Fralick added two RBIs for Auburn.
N.C. State (35-21), which defeated Stetson 17-12 earlier on Sunday to reach the championship round, failed to score until the eighth inning when Justin DeCriscio lifted a sacrifice fly to right field.
Dominic Fritton (5-6) pitched into the fourth inning and allowed three runs. Cooper Consiglio pitched 3 1/3 innings and allowed seven runs.

Shaquille O'Neal delivers scathing assessment of NBA's direction as Finals approach
Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal is not happy with the current state of NBA basketball. O'Neal, 53, lamented how the game had gone "soft." "The league is getting soft, the game is getting soft and it's going to take a couple of people to bring it back," O'Neal said during a recent appearance on "New Heights." The 15-time NBA All-Star does not like the trend of centers shooting 3-pointers and prefers the big men dominating in the paint. "Like, I hate big guys shooting (3-pointers). Victor Wembanyama is a great player, but I would love to just see him dominate so much that people start complaining, and they change the rules like when I did. I could shoot, but I'm not going to shoot a (3-pointer)," O'Neal said. "Why would I shoot a (3-pointer) when I could put your little a-- in the basket and dunk on you and put these balls in your face." O'Neal also expressed his disdain for the current NBA All-Star game format. "Our NBA All-Star format is terrible. I don't know who's in charge, but it's terrible," O'Neal said. The NBA's format this season had four different teams in a mini-tournament drafted by O'Neal, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. The fourth team in the format was the winner of the Rising Stars challenge. Over the years, the NBA has tinkered with the format in hopes of getting more effort from players. Regardless of the format, the players have not given 100% effort during the game and the product has declined. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said next year's All-Star game will be USA vs. World, but he is "not exactly sure what the format will be yet" during a recent appearance on "Breakfast Ball." The NBA Finals begin Thursday at 8:30 p.m. ET between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers.

Auburn to the College Football Playoffs? CBS Sports makes a bold prediction
Auburn to the College Football Playoffs? CBS Sports makes a bold prediction CBS Sports believes that the Auburn Tigers will finally make their College Football Playoff debut in 2025. The expansion of the College Football Playoff gives more teams a shot at competing for a national championship. Will this be the year that the Auburn Tigers make their way into the 12-team field? CBS Sports shared their list of teams that are poised to make their first-ever College Football Playoff appearance in 2025, and the Auburn Tigers are one of them. Carter Bahns of CBS Sports believes that Hugh Freeze addressed a critical need in the transfer portal, which could be the missing piece that the team needed to get over the hump. Auburn pushed a lot of chips forward this offseason. The most notable investment came at the quarterback spot where Hugh Freeze, at long last, dipped into the portal. Jackson Arnold is a prime candidate for a post-hype explosion considering injuries ravaged his supporting cast last year at Oklahoma and that the Tigers set him up for success with loads of receiving talent. It is incumbent upon Auburn to get significantly better play from its signal-caller after a couple of rough years to open a largely disappointing Freeze era. If Arnold delivers, this team is a dark-horse playoff contender. Last season was a great year for the College Football Playoff to expand from four teams to 12, as Penn State, Arizona State, Boise State, SMU, Indiana, and Tennessee each competed in the playoff for the first time in their program's history. The SEC will be a key conference to watch this season as Ole Miss, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas A&M join Auburn as teams that CBS has on its radar for first-time participants. Louisville, Illinois, and Miami are also in a great position to make their first appearance while several American Athletic Conference squads could crash the party as non-power conference candidates. Should Auburn make the College Football Playoff this season, it will be the seventh SEC team to appear in the playoff, joining the likes of Tennessee, LSU, and Texas. Alabama leads the conference with eight appearances, with Georgia and Oklahoma following suit with four.
