Auburn vs USF 11/11/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The USF Bulls and the Auburn Tigers meet in college basketball action from the Auburn Arena on Friday night.

The USF Bulls will be looking to rebound from a 64-61 loss at the hands of Southeast Missouri State in their last game. Keyshawn Bryant led the Bulls in scoring with 19 points on 7 of 11 shooting as the lone double-digit scorer for USF in the losing effort. Russel Tchewa added a team-high 9 rebounds while Tyler Harris had 9 points with a pair of steals.

The Auburn Tigers will try to build on a 70-52 win over George Mason in their last matchup. Wendell Green Jr. led the Tigers with 16 points including a team-high 4 assists while Johni Broome had 12 points with a team-high 6 rebounds and K.D. Johnson also had 12 points to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for the Tigers in the winning effort. Jaylin Williams also chipped in 6 rebounds of his own while Dylan Cardwell added a team-high 5 blocks and the aforementioned Broome also had 4 blocks as well in the winning effort.

USF is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 22-7-1 ATS in their last 30 Friday games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 road games. Auburn is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 18-7 ATS in their last 25 home games while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400.

I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I’m looking at Auburn here. USF had a really poor showing against Southeast Missouri State, and while Auburn wasn’t great themselves, they still managed to win that game by 18 points, which makes you wonder how good this Auburn team can really be, if they’re scoring and playing like that when the buckets aren’t falling. I just think that USF is overmatched here, so I’ll lay the points with Auburn in this one.
