As the Auburn Tigers prepare to host the USC Trojans at Neville Arena, fans are anticipating an exciting matchup in men's basketball. The game is set to take place on December 17th, and supporters can catch all the action live on ESPN.
The Auburn Tigers have been showcasing a strong performance trend in their recent games. Their last outing against UNC Asheville Bulldogs resulted in a commanding victory with an impressive score of 87-62. The team demonstrated their offensive prowess by shooting 53 percent from the field and an exceptional 80 percent from the free-throw line. Dominating inside, they racked up 50 points in the paint and capitalized on turnovers, adding another 17 points to their tally.
In another notable performance against Indiana Hoosiers, the Tigers roared past their opponents with a triple-digit scoreline of 104-76. Their sharpshooting was evident as they hit nearly half of their three-point attempts and maintained a high assist-to-turnover ratio of over twelve, highlighting efficient ball movement and decision-making.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Auburn as they faced Appalachian State Mountaineers earlier this month. Despite outrebounding their opponents significantly with a total rebound count of 48 compared to Mountaineers' 32, they struggled beyond the arc with only an eleven percent success rate from three-point range. This game ended narrowly in favor of Appalachian State at 69-64.
With these trends in mind, fans can expect Auburn Tigers to focus on exploiting their strengths such as inside scoring and creating opportunities through fast breaks while working on consistency from long range.
