Auburn may be ranked No.12 in the nation and sit atop the SEC but the Tigers have something bigger hanging over them when they visit the Florida Gators Saturday. Auburn has lost their last 11 games against Florida with their most recent victory against the Gators coming in March 2009. To put that into perspective, the last time Auburn beat Florida, Steph Curry was leading the nation in scoring while Blake Griffin paced everyone in rebounds.
- Florida is 6-2 SU in its last 8 games after consecutive losses.
- The total has gone OVER in Auburn's last 4 games against Florida.
- Auburn is 12-3 SU and ATS in its last 15 games against the SEC.
Though Auburn is coming off an easy victory over Alabama, they are still trying to figure out life without Anfernee McLemore. Though the sophomore center isn’t a household name, McLemore was fourth in the country in block rate and paced the team in defensive win shares. That puts extra pressure on Auburn’s explosive offense that emphasizes quick shots and scoring in transition.
Florida finds themselves slumping at the absolute worst time with the Gators dropping three straight – including one to Vanderbilt, the worst team in the SEC. Florida’s offense has been completely absent during their losing skid with the team averaging just 64.6 ppg and shooting 38.5% from the field. The guard duo of Jalen Hudson and Chris Chiozza – who are first and third on the team in ppg – have shot a combined 18-of-60 during the skid.
