The Miami Hurricanes and the Auburn Tigers will be squaring off in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday, March 20th.
The tip-off is set for 7:45 ET from Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
The Tigers started off as a 7.5 point favorite and really, that number has not changed much. The total has gone from 143.5 to 144.5.
Miami Hurricanes
It is very hard not to be impressed by what this Miami team has done this year. People might not put them in the same category as some of the top teams, but they have been consistent all season long and they will look for that to keep on Sunday.
The Hurricanes beat the USC Trojans in the first round on Friday by a score of 68-66. Once again, they will get a chance to take care of their business in a game in which they an underdog.
Going into their last game, it seemed like a lot of people were high on the Trojans and were not giving the Hurricanes as much of a chance. As we have seen before, the popular pick is not always the correct pick.
Overall, I really liked the way this team played defense in their last game. Keeping a team like the Trojans in the 60’s is no easy task, especially when the have the ability to be dominant on the offensive side of the ball at any given moment.
Auburn Tigers
Auburn may not have finished the regular season the way they wanted to, but they are still a very dangerous team and have the ability to go quite far in the tournament.
Despite some people being critical of this team, they still own a record of 28-5. With that, though, all they care about is getting the next win, which will be no easy task when they take on a very talented and confident Miami squad.
This club beat the Jacksonville State Gamecocks in the first round by a score of 80-61. They did just what was expected of them over a team they are a lot better than. Now, the real work starts for them.
A lot of different people contributed for them on the offensive side of the ball in their last outing, as four players reached double figures. Jabari Smith was the leading scorer with 20 points and 14 rebounds, while Walker Kessler also posted a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Miami is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
- The total has gone over in 6 of Miami’s last 8 games.
- Auburn is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games.
- Auburn is 16-4 SU in their last 20 games.
Free Miami Hurricanes vs. Auburn Tigers NCAAB Summary:
Auburn is the better team and favorite, but I do not see this as a game where they coast to victory.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Miami ATS
I do not feel Miami minds playing the role of the underdog, as that will once again be the case on Sunday. No matter who they go up against, they feel like they have a legitimate shot at winning.
If you are going on pure talent for talent, the edge goe to the Tigers, but I see this being a closer one than some folks feel. The Canes have lots of explosive people on offense and truthfully, I am not so sure the defense for Auburn is ready to keep them in check.
For me, the 7.5 is just too much to lay with Auburn and I also like the fact that Miami is getting points in a situation such as this.
Give me Miami getting the points in the second round.
