Action Network • • sports
Key Points:
- The Nevada Wolf Pack face the Auburn Tigers in the NIT quarterfinals, with Auburn favored by 8.5 points and the total set at 152.5 points; the game tips off at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
- Auburn has struggled defensively, allowing over 1.5 points per possession in recent NIT wins, and is dealing with the loss of key center KeShawn Murphy, forcing smaller players to fill the interior.
- Nevada has started strong in the NIT with double-digit wins over top-100 mid-major teams, led by Corey Camper Jr., who is excelling as a playmaker and shooter.
- Auburn’s offensive approach relies heavily on isolation plays, ranking low in assist rate, while Nevada's strengths include solid perimeter shooting, rebounding, and a high free-throw rate, particularly from big man Elijah Price.
- The prediction favors Nevada +9.5 points due to Auburn’s defensive issues, roster challenges, and potential motivation concerns, making the Wolf Pack a strong bet against the spread.
