The College of Charleston vs. Auburn betting line had the Tigers as a -9 favorite. This line is dead on according to the College Basketball Betting Power Ratings.
Auburn was solid this season, going 25-7 Straight Up and 19-11 Against The Spread though they struggled down the stretch, winning only half of their remaining ten games. They failed to cover the spread in their last four games. Each of their last four covers were by more than the current spread.
The Tigers haven't been to the Big Dance in 15 years. They averaged 84 points per game and, at least in theory, should be able to decimate the College of Charleston, a team that finished at the .500 mark Against The Spread.
This will be the Cougars first trip to the Big Dance since 1999. They did manage to win nine of their last ten games outright.
The Cougars protect the ball better than almost every team in the country while attempting 115 more free throws than their opponents.
Outside of the Cougars big three scorers, there are few other options, and this could prove costly in the first round. Certainly, they will be limited beyond this point if they happen to make it past Auburn.
