Auburn vs Bradley Key Stats
Despite losing first-round draft picks Walker Kessler and Jabari Smith Jr., the Tigers have a talented and deep team this year. They also welcomed a renowned transfer and returned numerous important players. Pearl will depend on junior guards Wendell Green Jr. and K.D. Johnson, who both averaged 12 points per game last season, as two important returning players.
Averaging 74.5 points on 41.3 percent field goal shooting, the Tigers are 4-0 but just 2-2 against the spread. With a 36.3 FG%, its rivals score 58.0 points per game. The Tigers' opponents only shot from three points with a 24.2 percent clip, which ranks as the nation's 24th-best three-point defense percentage.
Three of the Braves' top scorers from last year are back, but there has been a lot of attrition due to injuries. Malevy Leons, a senior forward who has averaged 11.0 points and 6.8 rebounds this year, and Ville Tahvanainen, a senior guard who has averaged 10.8 points in 2022–23, are the two most obvious options to make up the scoring slack.
The Braves are prolific scorers, averaging 79.3 points per game on 48.5 percent shooting. Additionally, their defense has been strong, allowing just 33.3 percent shooting from long range and 66.0 points per game on 41.2 percent field goal shooting. The Braves will require as many fresh bodies as possible to keep up with the Tigers squad, which averages 40.3 rebounds per game, and is among the top 20 nationally.
Auburn vs Bradley Betting Prediction
With freshman Chance Westry now joining the rotation after missing the first two games of the season, the Tigers are growing stronger ahead of the Cancun Challenge in contrast to the Braves.
Prior to the injury, it was anticipated that he would compete for a starting position in Pearl's lineup as a top-50 recruit. Auburn is preparing for a second attempt at winning the SEC with his perimeter scoring abilities and defensive potential.
After losing Smith and Kessler to the draft, the Tigers are a little bit under the radar, but they shouldn't be disregarded. Bradley's injuries should make this game a slam dunk for the Tigers. On Tuesday in Cancun, I'll wager that they triumph and cover the spread.
Pick: Tigers -13.5 (-105)
