Why They Go Deep
The Tigers demolished the Vols and established themselves as a team to fear entering this year's March Madness Big Dance. 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 would likely be the team they need to beat to advance into the Sweet 16. That is no easy task, but they made beating number two-ranked Tennessee an easy task. As good as Auburn was playing against Tennessee, Saint Mary's could prove dangerous, assuming that's who they play first.
Who They Will Play
We initially had Auburn -5.5 versus Minnesota but it's looking more like they face off against Saint Mary's, which would appear to be the better team and a situation where the Tigers should be -4 or -4.5.
