Queens Royals vs. Auburn Tigers Prediction

I’m on Auburn here. I just think this is a tough spot for the Royals as they haven’t been very good defensively this season and we’ve seen the Royals get crushed by good teams this season. Auburn is coming off of a humiliating loss to Purdue and have had more than a week to stew on that loss. I look for the Tigers to take out some frustration on Queens here and for Auburn to win in a blowout. Give me Auburn.
