Auburn at Kentucky

Premium Pick

Auburn lost one of its top players as Chuma Okeke went down with a knee injury that will keep him out the rest of the tournament, but the Tigers have plenty of talent to compete. Malik Dunbar finished with 13 points, while Bryce Brown and Danjel Purifoy scored 12 each in the blowout win over favored North Carolina. The Tigers look to avenge an embarrassing, 27-point loss in the last meeting with Kentucky, which won the first meeting at Auburn, 82-80, making this a double-revenge situation for the Tigers.  Auburn has won 11 in a row, and Kentucky comes off a hard-fought victory over Houston. Auburn is 7-2 ATS its last nine games, and the Wildcats are just 1-5 ATS their last six games versus SEC foes. Look for this matchup to go to the wire. Grab the points with Auburn for my Elite 8 Max Play Game of the Year.
