Auburn is a great team this year but we are getting a little value here after the Tigers needed OT to beat Bethune-Cookman Monday. Bethune-Cookman is an athletic team that has some real scorers on its roster. They gave Auburn problems in transition finishing +12 in fast break points. Merrimack isn't built the same way and I don't think they can exploit some of Auburn's weaknesses like Bethune-Cookman did. I went against Merrimack on Monday and pointed out they must replace 90% of the team's scoring from a year ago and return just two lightly used reserves. Merrimack shot just 37% against South Dakota State and were outrebounded by 13. I make this number -26.5 and would play it up to 24.5.
