Auburn Fighting Tigers Analysis

The Auburn Tigers are coming off a thrilling 76-74 win over Alabama Birmingham. It was a very difficult game for the Tigers as they were actually trailing in the final minute before Allen Flanigan drained a three-pointer to give them the victory. It was good to see Flanigan play well and give the team some extra scoring help. Babatunde Akingbola led the Tigers with 16 points while Johni Broome and Jaylin Williams each scored 13 points. This is a nice win for the Tigers but they need to keep it going and show some consistency. They have been up and down all season and they need to find a way to put together some wins in a row. They have a tough schedule coming up so they need to be ready to play their best basketball.

Kent State Golden Flashes Analysis

The Kent State Golden Flashes are coming off a 76-60 win over Appalachian State. This was a good win for the Golden Flashes as they have been struggling a bit this season. They are now 2-3 on the season but they need to keep improving. They have a tough schedule coming up so they need to be ready to play their best basketball. Kent State is led by Sincere Carry who is averaging 17.2 points per game. He is a very good player and he can score in a variety of ways. He is also a good passer and he can create for his teammates. The Golden Flashes also have a good inside presence in Giovanni Santiago who is averaging 12.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Betting Prediction

This is a tough game to pick but I like Auburn at home. They are the better team and they have a lot of experience. Kent State is a good team but they are still young and they have a lot to prove. I think Auburn will win this game by 10 points or more.
