Auburn is #30 in the KenPom ratings and is currently on the borderline for a potential NCAA at-large big. The Vols are #4 in KenPom and will definitely be in the big dance. The question is just how high of a seed they will be.
After a 32-point road loss to Kentucky, Auburn blew a 17-point road lead on Wednesday in an overtime loss to Alabama (#3 KenPom). The Tigers are desperate for a win here. Tennessee took a massive blow in their last game, losing guard Zakai Zeigler for the season with a torn ACL. Zeigler was a huge impact player, as he led the team in assists, steals and was second in scoring at the time of his injury.
Vols have failed to cover the number in four straight road games. Take Auburn.
