Nevada vs Auburn Prediction

I’ll lean toward Nevada but it’s a coin flip. The Wolf Pack got past Liberty without too much fuss over the weekend, hitting 46.3 percent from the field with an excellent 95 percent (19-of-20) from the free throw line. Nevada added a 38-21 rebounding edge and just 40.4 percent shooting allowed on defense. The Wolf Pack have gone 5-1 in the last six games, scoring 73 or more points in every one of those wins.

As for Auburn, they shot a very nice 50 percent from the field in their win over Seattle U, but did give up 51.7 percent shooting on the other side. The Tigers had a 34-22 edge on points in the paint however, as well as a 38-24 advantage on points in the paint. Auburn has scored a combined 169 points over their two NIT games thus far, so we should have a pretty good total if both teams can keep their offenses up.
