*CBB(1u): Auburn -7(-110) vs Miami–6:45 PM CT
Miami picked up a solid win vs USC on Friday, but the Trojans put out a pretty pathetic effort. USC lost the turnover battle 16-3 and still found themselves in the game late. Give Miami credit, but that game is just as much a reflection on USC. Anyway, as is the case in most Miami games, the Hurricanes are at a severe disadvantage down low in this one. Miami is a poor rebounding team on both ends of the floor, which bodes horribly considering Auburn already has the size advantage down low. In addition to having the advantage on the glass, the Tigers also protect the rim better than anybody in the country(7.9 blocks/game), which should force Miami to steer from their ideal gameplan and settle for jump shots outside of their comfort zone. Miami is able to stay in games because they don’t turn the ball over, but they are horrendous defensively. Auburn is already going to dominate on the glass, so when you factor in that this is an easier defense than the ones they had to face in the SEC, I think Auburn has plenty of success offensively. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel as if public sentiment on Auburn has dipped down too low. This team is still a 2 seed for a reason, and they have proven to be more than capable of beating teams like Miami by double-digits. Given the mismatch on the glass and down low, I’m going to take a shot with an Auburn team that I think has almost entered “buy low” territory. Still, this is as much of a play against Miami as it is a play on Auburn.
