Auburn-Tennessee Men’s College Basketball Odds, Lines, Spread and Bet
A pair of SEC powers and top-25 teams clash Saturday in Knoxville when No. 2 Tennessee welcomes No. 25 Auburn.
I love second-ranked Tennessee in this spot. I see the Vols ready to bounce back with some ferocity after losing at Florida on Wednesday and this is a favorable matchup. Tennessee is the best defensive team in the country, particularly at the three-point line. Opponents are making just 22.5 percent of their threes, and Auburn is a poor three-point shooting team (29.9 percent) — but still takes a fair amount of them, with 35 percent of its attempts coming from distance.

Guards Wendell Green and K.D. Johnson will take plenty of bad shots and against Tennessee they will miss plenty of them. Green is 2-of-21 from three in Auburn’s five losses and Johnson is 3-of-19. Thompson-Bowling is a raucous place to play these days; the Tigers are walking into a snake pit against a hungry opponent.
