Auburn vs. Charleston
Friday, 7:27 p.m. ET, truTV
Charleston has three players who average more than 17 points per game in Joe Chealey, Grant Riller and Jarrell Brantley. This isn’t a deep team so you will see a lot of that trio. Auburn was the co-champ of the SEC but is struggling after losing Anfernee McLemore for the season. This has enabled teams to attack the basket, so the Tigers must readjust their defense. If Auburn can’t get it together, watch out for a big upset.
