Johni Broome made a tip-in with 1.2 seconds left to give No. 4 Auburn a come-from-behind, 83-81 win over No. 5 Iowa State on Monday in the opening round of the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Hawaii .

Broome helped set up his game winner with a steal on the other end of the floor. He cleared Denver Jones’ miss on a layup attempt, but when Broome was swarmed by his teammates, he lay on the court in pain and suffered a leg cramp.

The game capped a rally after Auburn (5-0) trailed by as many as 18 points at halftime. The Tigers outscored the Cyclones (3-1) 50-32 in the second half.

Broome finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Chad Baker-Mazara led the Tigers by scoring 16 of his 18 points in the second half. Jones added 10 of his 12 points in the second half, while Miles Kelly scored nine of his 12 after halftime. Tahaad Pettiford scored fourteen points for the Tigers.

Next up for Auburn is a semifinal on Tuesday against No. 12 North Carolina, which defeated Dayton 92-90 later Monday night. Iowa State will face the Flyers in the consolation round on Tuesday.

Jones’ two free throws with 4:01 remaining gave Auburn its first lead of the game, 75-73. He extended the lead to four on the next possession with a corner jumper.

Keshon Gilbert, who scored 23 points for Iowa State, scored six of his points in the final 2:07 to give the Cyclones an 81-79. Kelly answered with a layup with 38 seconds left to set up the wild finish.

Curtis Jones provided 14 points off the bench for the Cyclones, while Dishon Jackson scored 13 points and Milan Momcilovic added 12 points.

After Iowa State (3-1) dominated the first half with its suffocating, stuttering defense, Auburn flipped the script after the break. The Cyclones made just 31.8 percent of their shots in the second half, while shooting 58.1 percent in the opening period.

Auburn got back into it early in the second half with a 13-0 run, with Baker-Mazara capping the offense with a 3-pointer, followed by a four-point play that made it 51-48 with 15:30 to go.

Iowa State held onto its slim lead before Jones’ free throws started the back-and-forth in the final minutes.

Late in the first half, Momcilovic went on a six-point run with a pair of buckets as Iowa State took a 49-33 lead into intermission.
