Why They Go Deep

As this was going to press we were watching the Tigers destroy Tennessee in the first half.  It only got worse in the second half and the rest is history.  They demolished the Vols.  This Tigers team can shoot.  Auburn is No. 1 in the nation in forcing turnovers, with a 25 percent turnover percentage.  This is a team that can upset, say, Duke.  They destroyed Tennessee with one of their top scorers barely even getting it in the net.

Why Be Concerned

Duke looked likely be the team they need to beat to advance into the Sweet 16, but it will probably be Kansas instead.  They will probably take on North Carolina in the Sweet 16 (assuming they get that far).  That will be tough but doable with a line of -5 likely favoring the Tar Heels.  

Who They Will Play

We initially had Auburn -5.5 versus Minnesota but it was looking more like they would be facing off against Saint Mary's.  Selection Sunday provided Auburn with some relief in the form of New Mexico State.  Auburn was now a -7 favorite as a result.
