The Texas Longhorns and the Auburn Tigers will face off on Wednesday night in an SEC game. The Longhorns are fighting for their first NCAA Tournament appearance under new head coach Sean Miller, and big wins like this one will be needed to get them to that destination. They are right on the bubble for now, while Auburn has moved up significantly on the heels of 3 straight wins. Auburn is coming off an amazing road victory against Florida and could be in for another big win on Wednesday. The game should be a close one, but my best bet is the over.

Both teams’ offense has been very efficient this season, especially during conference play. Since January 1, Texas’s offense is ranked #8 nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency; Auburn’s is ranked #15. Neither team has been very good at keeping its opponent off the foul line during league play, so I expect both teams to get to the line at a high rate. The Longhorns’ defense is ranked just #137 in adjusted efficiency since January 1, as well, so Auburn should have no issues scoring. Let’s roll with the over.
