When playing Alabama, Auburn got out to a 10-2 early lead that increased to 12 in the first half and seven at the half. The Tigers had a 17-point lead with 10:27 left in regulation when they were outscored 26-9, forcing overtime.

 

Beginning the extra session with a 7-2 run, Auburn lost and never got closer than two points the rest of the way.

 

The Tigers turned the ball over 18 times and shot 46% from the floor, including 12 of 20 from the three-point range, but they also missed nine of 24 free throws.

#12 Tennessee Volunteers vs Auburn Tigers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #12 Tennessee Volunteers. Both clubs struggled in February, especially after their first matchup on February 4 when points were few.

 

Before sweeping their past two games going into this one, the Volunteers lost four of their subsequent five contests. What the Volunteers do to replace Zeigler in the starting lineup must be a problem.

 

On the other hand, Auburn lost five of its last seven games since that three-point defeat in Knoxville and recently squandered a 17-point lead away to Alabama.

 

With their confidence damaged at this stage, the Tigers must be frightened. Even at home, it’s difficult to support a struggling club like the Tigers.

 

As the Volunteers continue to try to right the ship before the SEC Tournament, Tennessee’s defense does the job and propels them to another grueling victory. The #12 Tennessee Volunteers will win to a predicted score of 68-65.
