Auburn got off to a slow start and appeared to be suffering from the loss of star forward Chuma Okeke, who is injured and out for the season. However, they brought Okeke out to the court during the first half and it inspired the Tigers to go on and beat Kentucky 80-75 in overtime. The confidence they gained by winning without one of their most important players will be on display this weekend and the Tigers are again the underdogs. Auburn has won 12 games in a row and it's 8-2 ATS its last 10 games. Virginia was very fortunate to beat Purdue and it snapped a string of three straight UNDERS for the Cavaliers. Auburn allows opponents 69.3 points per game compared to 55.4 for Virginia, but the Tigers have the clear edge on offense. Virginia is 7-2 UNDER its last nine non-conference games and 5-2 UNDER its last seven neutral site games. The Cavaliers are just 2-6 ATS their last eight NCAA Tournament games. Look for this game to go to the wire and grab the points with Auburn plus the UNDER.
