The Auburn Tigers come into this game looking to build on their 72-56 win over Texas Southern last time out. Wendell Green Jr. leads Auburn in scoring with 14 PPG and in assists with 4 APG while Johni Broome has 11 PPG and 9 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Auburn up to this point in the year while leading the Tigers on the glass as the team’s top rebounder. As a team, Auburn is averaging 74.5 PPG on 41.3% shooting from the field, 25% from three and 64.4% from the foul line this season.
The Bradley Braves will hope to add to their 73-60 win over Southeast Missouri State last time out.

Auburn is 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games following a win and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 Tuesday games. Bradley is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a win and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Tuesday games while the under is 8-3 in their last 11 games overall.
I get the case to be made for a dog like Bradley here who hasn’t been all that bad so far this season. However, Auburn’s simply on a different level out of the gate and I just think this is one of those games where you really see the discrepancy between power conference and mid-major conference. No disrespect to Bradley, but they’re just up against it here. Give me the Auburn Tigers in a beatdown.
