No. 21 Auburn @ South Florida

Current Records: Auburn 2-0; South Florida 2-1

What to Know

The #21 Auburn Tigers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the South Florida Bulls at 7 p.m. ET Friday at Amalie Arena. Auburn won't have the home-court advantage, but they do enjoy a 13.5-point advantage in the spread.

The Tigers made easy work of the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks last week and carried off a 93-65 win. Auburn was heavily favored coming into this game, and the results showcase why. They got double-digit scores from four players: forward Jabari Smith (23), guard K.D. Johnson (18), forward Chris Moore (16), and guard Wendell Green Jr. (15).

Meanwhile, South Florida narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the North Carolina A&T Aggies 56-54. South Florida's guard Caleb Murphy filled up the stat sheet, picking up 12 points and six assists. Murphy's performance made up for a slower matchup against the Georgia Southern Eagles on Saturday.

This next contest looks promising for Auburn, who are favored by a full 13.5 points. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Their wins bumped the Tigers to 2-0 and the Bulls to 2-1. In their win, Auburn relied heavily on Jabari Smith, who dropped a double-double on 23 points and ten boards. South Florida will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
