New Mexico vs. Auburn

Auburn coach Bruce Pearl has really elevated the program as he has recruited very well, and the team continues to be Top 25 caliber. Auburn will take on New Mexico in the 1st round of the Legends Classic at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The Lobos are off to a 5-1 start, but head into the deep end of the pool for the first time as they have played a soft schedule thus far. Auburn has a sharp-shooting team that likes to get out in transition and gets a lot of easy baskets because they are very strong off the glass. The tempo and speed, along with superior athletes will do in the Lobos in this one. Make the play on Auburn.
