Mississippi State Bulldogs Betting Prediction
First, we have the Mississippi State vs Auburn Betting prediction for the the Bulldogs.
The Mississippi Bulldogs went into the SEC Tournament full of confidence, knowing they had a good chance of making the NCAA Tournament. Given that the Bulldogs defeated the fifth-ranked and top-seeded Tennessee Volunteers 73-56 in the quarterfinals on Friday, they are very certainly in the NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs secured the victory by dominating the game from start to finish, with Cameron Matthews and Josh Hubbard each scoring 18 points. As a result of the Bulldogs’ failure to win their final four games of the season, it appears like they will virtually certainly qualify for the tournament with 21 victories in the extremely tough Southeastern Conference.
This is the Bulldogs’ first meeting with Auburn, which is now rated 12th in the nation and has played two games this season, with both teams winning on their home courts. The Bulldogs won at home by six points, holding the strong Auburn offense to only 58 points. Furthermore, they outrebounded the Tigers 45-30 and held them to a shooting percentage of 34% overall and 25% from three-point range. Despite being outrebounded by two in their first two tournament games, the Bulldogs can still force mistakes, which may make it difficult for them to recreate their rebounding advantage. On Friday, the Bulldogs drove Tennessee, the Southeastern Conference’s best team in terms of turnover differential, into 18 turnovers.
Auburn Tigers Betting Prediction
Now we have the Mississippi State vs Auburn Betting prediction for the Vols.
On Friday, the Auburn Tigers defeated the #15 South Carolina Gamecocks 86-55. This victory let the Tigers to finish the season sweep of the Gamecocks and advance to the semifinals on Saturday. The Tigers’ two victories over South Carolina this season have totaled 71 points for the 12th-ranked Tigers. Johni Broome, an All-SEC forward, had a double-double in the game, scoring 18 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. Chaney Johnson added 11 points and K.D. Johnson added 10 as the Tigers, ranked fourth, prepare to face Mississippi State, ranked ninth, in the title game.
Pearl went on to say, “I believe that the people are searching for an explanation as to why we were so excited about playing.” It’s difficult for me to say if that should even be a question. Our goal is to be excited about playing while also showing respect for our opponents. We understand that we need to make plays on both ends of the court. In the season series between the Bulldogs and the Auburn Tigers, the Tigers will now try to break the tie on Saturday during the game. The Tigers had a poor shooting performance, scoring only 58 points in their loss at Mississippi State, but they rebounded with a 15-point triumph at home, winning 78-63.
After a poor start, the Tigers recovered, shooting 50% from the field and 47% from beyond the arc. The Tigers are presently fourth in the Southeastern Conference in terms of scoring this season. They rank third in field goal shooting and fifth in three-point shooting, making them a threatening team. Furthermore, the Tigers have shown strong defensive performance.

The Southeastern Conference puts Auburn fifth in total rebounds per game and second in turnovers.
Mississippi State vs Auburn Betting Pick
After defeating Tennessee and almost probably guaranteeing a ticket in the NCAA Tournament, it is tough for me not to consider the idea that Mississippi State is feeling a little more relaxed. There is a good chance that Auburn will be a letdown opponent on Saturday, and Auburn is not the type of team to let down. The Tigers lost their previous game against Mississippi State because they were outscored 45-30 on the glass and shot less than 40% from the field. In the Tigers’ second game against Auburn, they played more like themselves, shooting over 50% from the field and committing less turnovers. Despite being one of the most effective teams on both sides of the floor, Auburn has managed to stay under the radar.
They finished third in scoring defense and fourth in scoring offense in the Southeastern Conference. The Bulldogs, rated 12th in the conference, have a considerably greater turnover rate than they do, which is why they are second in the Southeastern Conference. KenPom.com now ranks the Tigers as the fourth best club in the entire United States. On Friday, the Tigers destroyed South Carolina in a way that created the impression that they are a team ready to win the Southeastern Conference championship this season. The Bulldogs, despite their recent success, will struggle to stay up with the Tigers.
