Auburn will be without star point guard Sharife Cooper once again on Saturday and that means the Tigers will need to pull off an upset when they host Tennessee.
Over at BetMGM, the oddsmakers have Bruce Pearl’s team as 7.5-point underdogs to the Volunteers.
Cooper suffered an ankle injury on Sunday in practice and was in a walking boot during the Tigers’ loss to Florida on Tuesday night.
“He didn’t practice yesterday,” Pearl said on Friday. “He was there all day, he shot around a little bit. He is in the training room as many hours as Clark Pearson will allow him to be in the training room. You know, he had a pretty good ankle sprain, and they typically take a week or three or four. He turned it pretty good. But, he’s actually bounced back and we’ll see.”
Here are the odds for the rest of SEC action on Saturday:
