Why you should back Auburn
Auburn came from behind to get past South Carolina 66-63 on Saturday. Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Auburn to victory, including Tahaad Pettiford (15 points) and Miles Kelly (14 points and six rebounds).
With Johni Broome forced out of action with an ankle injury, that pair stepped up to grind out a come-from-behind win. Broome will avoid surgery but has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup. He's a national player of the year candidate that is averaging 17.9 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.7 blocks, but the Tigers do have five other players averaging double-figures in scoring to turn to.

Why you should back Mississippi State
Mississippi State suffered the end of its eight-game winning streak on Saturday, losing 95-90 to Kentucky. Mississippi State's loss came about despite a quality game from Cameron Matthews, who dropped a double-double on 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Josh Hubbard also had 15 points in the loss but went just 5-for-16 from the floor. The second-year guard is averaging 17 points per game this season and he'll be counted on for a better shooting night on Tuesday. The Bulldogs have covered the spread in five of their last seven games on the road. See which team to pick here.
