Nebraska @ No. 18 Auburn

Current Records: Nebraska 5-5; Auburn 7-1

What to Know

The #18 Auburn Tigers will take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 11:30 a.m. ET Saturday at State Farm Arena. Auburn should still be riding high after a big victory, while Nebraska will be looking to right the ship.

The Tigers made easy work of the Yale Bulldogs on Saturday and carried off an 86-64 win. Auburn's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but guard K.D. Johnson led the charge as he had 19 points.

Meanwhile,'s it's hard to picture a worse loss than the 102-67 bruising that Nebraska suffered against the Michigan Wolverines on Tuesday. Guard Keisei Tominaga wasn't much of a difference maker for Nebraska; Tominaga finished with 11 points on 4-for-14 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.

Auburn is the favorite in this one, with an expected 14.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

The Tigers are now 7-1 while the Cornhuskers sit at 5-5. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: Auburn enters the game with 82.4 points per game on average, good for 28th best in college basketball. Less enviably, Nebraska is stumbling into the matchup with the 38th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 75.3 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Nebraska.
