Auburn Tigers vs. Missouri Tigers Predictions

The Auburn Tigers are coming into this game with a strong record and a recent victory that they’re looking to build upon. With an impressive 22 wins under their belt, they are a formidable opponent in the SEC. Auburn’s offense is a force to be reckoned with, ranking 22nd in average points per game at 82.6, and their defense is bolstered by Johni Broome, who leads the team in both points and rebounds per game. The team’s overall field goal percentage of 47.0 places them 64th in the nation, indicating a balanced and efficient offensive strategy.

On the other side of the court, the Missouri Tigers have had a challenging season, with a current 16-game losing streak that they are desperate to end. Despite their struggles, they have shown flashes of competitiveness, with Sean East II leading the team in points and assists per game. Missouri’s free throw percentage stands at 78.4, which is 47th in the nation, suggesting they can capitalize on opportunities at the line. However, their three-point shooting has been a weak point, with a percentage of 32.3 ranking them 338th.

This game will likely hinge on key player matchups, particularly the battle inside between Auburn’s Broome and Missouri’s top rebounder, Noah Carter. Auburn will aim to exploit their offensive strengths and continue their efficient scoring, while Missouri will need to step up defensively and make the most of their free-throw opportunities to keep the game within reach. With Auburn favored to win, Missouri’s resilience and determination could make for an unpredictable and thrilling contest.

Auburn Tigers vs. Missouri Tigers Pick

The pick for the Auburn Tigers vs. Missouri Tigers game is ‘Under’. This prediction is based on the recent trends of both teams, particularly their performance in relation to the over/under line. The Auburn Tigers have seen the total go under in 17 of their 29 games this season, indicating a tendency for lower-scoring games. Additionally, in their last 10 games, the total has gone under 50% of the time. On the Missouri side, the total has gone under in 14 of their 29 games, with a significant under trend at home where the total has gone under in 9 of their 18 home games. Both teams have shown that they are more likely to be involved in games where the total score stays below the over/under line, suggesting that the trend will continue in this matchup. Furthermore, Missouri’s struggle with three-point shooting could limit their scoring potential against Auburn’s defense, which could further contribute to a lower total score.
