Our Michigan Wolverines vs Auburn Tigers Prediction
Despite Auburn being the number one overall seed in the tournament, the Tigers have not nearly been as dominant recently. Auburn's best player and Wooden Award Finalist, Johni Broome is averaging just 11 points per game over the first weekend and now the Tigers play a Michigan team that has the size to fight Broome once again.
The Wolverines were looking rough through late February and into the early part of March. That said, they have had a complete turnaround over the last few weeks. With Michigan playing their best basketball of the season by far and Auburn playing a little less consistently, our Michigan Wolverines vs Auburn Tigers prediction is Michigan alternate spread +10.5.Jackpot Pools
