Head To Head

This is the first basketball meeting between the two schools

Auburn Form

Auburn go into this game on the back of a couple of blowout wins in response to their SEC tournament exit.

The Tigers enjoyed a dominant run during the regular season, including a 14-game win streak, but they cooled off late on by losing their final two outings.

They rebounded in their first game of the conference tournament, beating Mississippi 62-57, only to crash out in the next game as they lost 70-65 to Tennessee.

Auburn have put that disappointment behind them to advance to the Sweet 16 of March Madness.

The Tigers opened their campaign with an 83-63 win over Alabama State, and followed that up with an 82-70 success against Creighton.

Michigan Form

Michigan enter this Sweet 16 showdown on a good run of form, having won five straight tournament matchups.

The Wolverines ended the regular season on a low note as they lost their final three games, but they rebounded in the best possible fashion.

They booked their place in the Big Ten tournament final thanks to an 86-68 win over Purdue and an 81-80 success against Maryland.

Michigan then claimed the conference tournament crown with a 59-53 victory over Wisconsin in the final.

The Wolverines have kept that run going during the first two rounds of March Madness, beating UC San Diego 68-65 and Texas A&M 91-79.

Verdict

Michigan @ Auburn

Michigan have won five straight in tournament action, but we expect that run to end here.

Auburn possess the better offense and we are backing them to go on a run that sees them pull clear of the Wolverines.
