Miami (+7.5) over Auburn
Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler will present problems inside for the Hurricanes, but Miami has succeeded against imposing front lines before, including those of Duke, North Carolina and USC. Auburn, against an opponent that ranks in the top 10 in the nation in fewest turnovers committed and 20th in field goal shooting percentage, won’t have many opportunities to get in transition. And Miami’s proficiency in steals should allow it to clean up against a team that is stripped more than all but three teams that made the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers’ inexperience and struggles away from home could become a factor in a close game, resulting in their ninth failure to cover in the past 12 games.
