Auburn vs Vanderbilt Prediction

I’ll take a stab on Auburn I suppose. The Tigers need a good bounce-back here after a tough loss at home to rival Alabama, though. In that one the Tigers shot well (46.5 percent) and had a 30-26 rebounding edge with just five turnovers. The major trouble was the defense, as Auburn gave up 54.2 percent shooting from the field and 52.2 percent (12-of-23) from outside. The Tigers have lost consecutive games now, and they’ve given up 77 or more points in three straight.

As for Vanderbilt, they took a tough loss at home to a middling Oklahoma team last weekend. The Commodores put up 47.4 percent shooting from the field and 83.9 percent (26-of-31) from the line but also had 13 turnovers and a 40-30 deficit on points in the paint. Vanderbilt gave up 53.4 percent shooting on defense as well. The Commodores are still 3-1 in the last four games, though, with 80 or more points scored in three of those outings.
