#879 ASA PLAY ON Auburn -3.5 over Iowa State, Monday at 9 PM ET - This game is being played on a neutral site in Hawaii. Both teams step into this game undefeated but Auburn has tested themselves early playing the much tougher schedule. The Tigers have already faced 4 teams in the top 190 including Houston (#1 team in the nation per KenPom) and they topped the Cougars in Houston. ISU, on the other hand, has faced the 364th most difficult schedule (per KenPom) with the teams they’ve faced so far ranking 364th, 360th, and 235th. All those games were at home as well so the Cyclones will be playing in unfamiliar territory for the first time this season. Despite playing a tough slate to date, Auburn ranks in the top 5 nationally in both offensive and defensive efficiency. They put up 74 points in a Houston defense that hasn’t allowed more than 45 points in any of their other games. The Tigers lead the nation in eFG% and 2 point FG% while averaging 87 PPG. Auburn has better eFG% numbers on both offense and defense despite the fact that ISU’s 3 opponents have a combined record of 0-14 vs Division 1 teams this season. We’ll lay the small number with Auburn on Monday.
