LSU vs Auburn basketball predictions

LSU is a sizeable 14-point favorite to beat Auburn on Friday. Heading into the game, Tigers coach Kim Mulkey says they are in a good spot.

“I think we’re right where we need to be,” Coach Kim Mulkey said, via SI. “We’ve improved defensively. We know a little bit more about each other now than we did months ago. I think we have a hunger in that locker room still; there’s a lot that don’t have a ring.

"I think we have an opportunity to do some good things in the SEC Tournament and if we don’t, it’s not the end of the season. The most important is after the SEC Tournament.”

LSU has a far better squad and should be able to score at will, leading to a blowout victory. The Tigers are among the favorites to win the NCAA Tournament, which begins at the SEC Tournament, where LSU will win by 15 points or more.

Prediction: LSU wins by 15 points or more.
