Broome was immediately apologetic and later went over to Freeman to apologize again, in between helping Auburn to a 91-77 victory on the road against Ole Miss on Saturday. “I thought it was an Ole Miss fan grabbing my jersey, holding on to me,” Broome told reporters after the game. “I came back out there again, and I’m just like, ‘I’m sorry, again,’” Broome said. His team held on to snap Ole Miss’ 14-game unbeaten streak at home.
