Expect Auburn to win by a comfortable margin unless Merrimack gets hot early from beyond the arc.
Auburn narrowly escaped a potential upset in their previous game, winning in overtime despite poor three-point shooting and hot shooting from their opponent. Merrimack, on the other hand, lost their season opener and struggles with offensive efficiency and rebounding. Auburn's game plan should focus on feeding the ball inside to their big men and dominating the glass. While Auburn lost key defensive players from last year, their size and depth should be enough to contain Merrimack's offense. Auburn's potent scoring guards in Tahaad Pettiford and Keyshawn Hall, should be able to create scoring opportunities. Merrimack needs to force turnovers to have any chance, but Auburn is unlikely to be a turnover-prone team.
