Sporting News: Tigers to win
Gilbert McGregor writes: “With Yale’s pedigree in mind, Auburn is undoubtedly one of the best teams in college basketball and has an opportunity to flex its muscles and prove the metrics right. The Tigers’ size, athleticism and resume suggest they could overwhelm their opponent to open the tournament. Auburn has taken care of business all year, and as a heavy favorite to start the tournament, will look to do so again. Auburn is a 4 seed but in many ways, has the pedigree of a 1 seed. That might prove to be too much for Yale to handle. We’re picking the Tigers to win.”
