An exciting SEC matchup is coming to Neville Arena on Tuesday, as No. 19 Vanderbilt (19-4) is set to visit Auburn (14-9).
The Associated Press voters didn’t pick the Commodores as a preseason top-25 team, but they’ve outperformed a Tigers team that entered the season ranked 20th in October. Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. ET on the SEC Network.
Below, we’ll go over some PrizePicks' Vanderbilt vs. Auburn predictions and picks.
Vanderbilt vs. Auburn Prediction, Spread, College Basketball Picks
Few teams have been as well-rounded as Vanderbilt this season. The Commodores boast one of college basketball’s most productive offenses and rank 11th in points per game (88.9). They also limit turnovers at a high level and give the ball away just 9.8 times per contest.
Vanderbilt is a top-four SEC team in field goal percentage (48.6%), 3-point percentage (36.2%), and free throw percentage (77.4%). Auburn will have to try to offset that efficiency with physicality.
The Tigers play a grittier game than the Commodores and can depend on one of the nation’s best downhill drivers in senior F Keyshawn Hall.
Auburn’s leading scorer is tied for 15th in points per game (21.0) and is one of the driving forces behind why the Tigers are taking (28.1) and making (20.8) more free throws per game than any team in the SEC this year.
Vanderbilt regularly has a high foul count and could get into trouble if that’s an issue on Tuesday.
