Even reporters aboard Air Force One were enthralled by Auburn’s Final Four nail-biter on Saturday, with CNN’s White House correspondent sharing her joy when Bruce Pearl’s Tigers lost in heartbreaking fashion.
Immediately after the game against the Virginia Cavaliers concluded, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who is a graduate of the University Alabama and native of Prattville, tweeted, “Watching Auburn get beat on Air Force One? Priceless.”
