Auburn at Murray State

This is a good non-conference game between a pair of teams with a combined 16-3 record. That means both teams will bring their best defensive efforts. Auburn's defense has been solid all season, limiting opponents to 71.7 points per game. Tigers coach Bruce Pearl is 69-47 UNDER the total when he takes a team out on the road, as well as 13-4 UNDER after three straight non-conference tilts. Auburn leads the SEC and ranks 10th in the nation with a rebound margin of 10.3 per game. Sophomore forward Anfernee McLemore leads the SEC and ranks sixth in the nation with his average of 3.6 blocks. They head to a Murray State squad that has one of the top home-court advantages in the country.
