Auburn vs Nevada Prediction

Auburn comes into this matchup looking to continue their run in the NIT, after they felt like they were snubbed from the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers are shooting 46% from the field and they have scored 78+ points in four of their last five. Nevada has also played well recently, but they are just 4-8 on the road this year. The Wolf Pack are shooting 44% from the field and they have scored 80+ in three of their last five. We have seen Auburn struggle to pull away in the first two games of the NIT and I think this game will be more of the same. Take Nevada and the points here.
