Preview
Auburn bounced back from their loss to Kentucky with an easy win over Georgia. They’ll be aiming to carry their momentum into a significantly more difficult matchup at Tennessee. The Tigers have a chance at claiming a share of 1st place in the SEC if they can win this game, but need to find a way to overcome Tennessee’s defense. The responsibility to lead the way will fall primarily on leading-scorer Johni Broome.
Tennessee continues to play excellent basketball. They’ve won 10 of their last 12 games, and sit firmly as a 2-seed in the projected tournament field. The Volunteers are no strangers to regular season success, but have struggled to translate that into a deep tournament run. They’ll aim to change that, and can start by earning more experience against ranked opposition. Their last four games all come against top-20 teams.
Prediction
This should be another excellent matchup between ranked SEC teams. Tennessee should have a notable advantage in this game as the home team, but can’t overlook Auburn with a road trip to Alabama next on the docket. I see this game remaining close until the end, with the Tigers giving the Volunteers a run for their money. Ultimately, I see the home team in Tennessee pulling away to win it and cover the spread.
NCAAB Picks:
- Tennessee 75, Auburn 70 (TENN -2.5)
