Auburn vs Texas Southern Best Picks and Prediction
I'll probably continue working with the Tigers.
The Tigers haven't faced many obstacles so far this season, and they're giving relatively regular performances. Of course, the Tigers haven't exactly faced a challenge either.
However, they are coming off a solid 46.6 percent shooting performance with 53 rebounds, including 25 offensive ones in the victory over Winthrop. It will be difficult for the TSU Tigers to maintain any kind of tempo in this one.
Pick: Tigers -24.5 (-110)
