Auburn last took a loss to UConn; that was way back on November 24 in their third game of the year. It’s been a lengthy string of 18 straight victories since then. The Tigers have taken out Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma and Alabama in their last four. 

In Tuesday’s game versus Alabama, the Tigers didn’t have much trouble. Auburn hit 51 points in the first half and cruised to a 100-81 win. Wendell Green posted 23 bench points, and Jabari Smith added 17 points with five boards. 

Over on the Georgia side, they started out the season at 5-6. The Bulldogs then hit the skids in late December with an eight-game losing streak. After a win over Alabama, Georgia fell to Vanderbilt and Arkansas in their next pair. 

On Wednesday in the Arkansas game, the Bulldogs were outscored 47-53 in the first half and 26-46 from there in a 99-73 blowout loss. Kario Oquendo led the way on 17 points, and Aaron Cook posted 12 points with six assists during the defeat. 

The Bulldogs are 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 at home and 2-5 ATS in their last seven overall. Georgia is 1-5 ATS in the last six after a straight-up loss.
Meanwhile, the Tigers are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 after an ATS win and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 overall. Auburn is 4-0 ATS in their last four Saturday games. 

PICK: I’ve got to stay with Auburn here, even with the thick line. The Tigers are absolutely mashing right now, and posting convincing wins over even ranked teams. Auburn has had a few close calls along the way (like the 55-54 win at Missouri) but they’re the hottest team in the game right now. 

The last time these squads met up on January 19, the Tigers posted an 83-60 win. Georgia is probably going to put up more points here, but I still like Auburn to flirt with the 80-point mark again as they power out a cover.
