Auburn vs Alabama Game Preview

Why Auburn Will Win

Auburn will get on the move and it’ll guard hard from three.

It wasn’t able to stop anything Kentucky wanted to do inside in a blowout loss, but when the defense is working and the offense is able to get on the move, the team is dangerous.

Alabama dominates on runs. Once the offense gets on the move and starts getting into a groove, forget it.

Auburn has the ability to force Bama to keep going inside, it’s good at cleaning up on the boards and keep this from getting out of hand early – like it did in the first meeting in a 77-69 loss – and it’ll ramp up the defensive intensity.

Auburn is a near-lock when keeping teams under 45% from the field, Alabama averages 45% shooting, and …

Why Alabama Will Win

Alabama doesn’t lose at home.

It’s not like it’s through the storm as a program, but it got through two nasty games against South Carolina and Arkansas, all four losses were away from Coleman.

Auburn’s problem isn’t the defense – it’s doing okay – it’s the lack of pop to keep up the pace when the games get rolling.

It lost seven of the last ten games mostly because the shooting from the outside hasn’t consistently been there, and the fast break points aren’t making up for it.

To be totally simplistic about it …

What’s Going To Happen

Auburn won’t be able to score enough.

It’s Alabama vs Auburn, so both sides will play at another level from the start, the defenses will be great, and it’ll all come down to one big Bama explosion to pull away.

DePaul vs UConn Game Preview

Why DePaul Will Win

It’s been a rough run for the Blue Demons, but the team is shooting just well enough to make this a fight.

It was great at keeping up in a tough loss at Marquette, the three point shooting hasn’t been bad, and there’s just enough pop to make UConn push a bit more than it might like.

The Huskies might be able to move the ball around well, but DePaul should be able to generate enough points off of turnovers to get on the move, and …

Why UConn Will Win

DePaul can’t stop anyone lately.

It’s on a ten-game losing streak mainly because it’s struggling to tilt the court the other way. The D is okay at forcing the tough shot, but the rebounding isn’t there to take advantage of it.

UConn is a killer on the boards, and it’s about to generate more than its share of second-chance points. In the 90-76 win a few weeks ago it was +14 in rebounding margin with ten on the offensive glass.

That offensive board total was low for the Huskies, but that’s because it was making everything. DePaul doesn’t guard from the outside hard enough to stop a few big scoring runs.

What’s Going To Happen

As always, DePaul will give it a good go and battle hard, but it won’t be able to get the defensive big plays needed to hold on.

UConn losses when the other offense goes off and hits at least 50%. DePaul will struggle to get above 40%. The points will be there, though, to make the Huskies keep on scoring.
