The Clemson-Auburn betting line had the Tigers as a PICK'EM and guaranteed to win. That's because both these teams are the Tigers.
The rivalry between these two teams has been extended into College Basketball from Football.
Clemson beat New Mexico State 79-68.
Shelton Mitchell scored a season-high 23 points, Gabe DeVoe had 22 and Clemson beat New Mexico State 79-68 on Friday night, closing out a perfect opening round for No. 5 seeds.
Auburn did not have an easy time of it putting away number 13 seed College of Charleston. They won this game 62-58.
Nothing about Auburn’s performance was pretty until Jared Harper drained a long 3-pointer with 1:17 to go against College of Charleston, the Associated Press noted.
The biggest shot to go down for the Tigers was Harper’s deep 3 that gave them a 59-56 lead. He finished 1 of 7, including 1 for 4 from behind the arc.
”We put him in a ball screen to try to get him the advantage and they went under the ball screen,” Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl said.. ”I want those guys to be able to have the freedom to take and make those shots.
”Look, we don’t have a dominating post player,” the coach added. ”We get inside off of drives, off of slips and ball screens. We don’t post up. So we better knock down some 3s. That’s our game. We’ve done it all year long and we made enough tonight to win the game.”
