Pick
Auburn was able to get a relatively easy win on Thursday, as they dominated Notre Dame in the second half. St. Bonaventure played a very close game with Oklahoma State and they struggled to hit shots down the stretch, but they were able to make free throws. The Bonnies haven’t been very impressive to start the year, as they only shot 41% on Thursday, but they have a chance for a great win here. Auburn hasn’t shot the ball too well this season, but they did shoot over 53% in Thursday’s win. This could be a close game for the first half, but Auburn is too talented and will pull away in the second half.
David’s Pick Auburn -10.5
