Johni Broome will help lead the way in our Memphis vs. Auburn predictions for the Maui Invitational final.
A tale of two Tigers will favor Auburn in the Maui Invitational final. Not to take anything away from Memphis, who has played remarkably well, but Auburn is as deep as any team and should win by double digits.
Memphis advanced past the quarterfinals with a shocking 99-97 overtime win over UConn and followed it up with a sound display in a 71-63 handling of Michigan State in the semifinals a day ago. Bettors didn’t believe in Memphis, pushing the spread from +1 at open to +2.5 at close, but Penny Hardaway’s team rewarded our faith with a sweat-free cover. . The season has barely started and Bruce Pearl’s team already has three marquee wins over North Carolina, Iowa State, and Houston.
Broome should cook against a Memphis interior defense that UConn exploited in the event opener. Center Tarris Reed and forward Jaylin Stewart combined for 38 points off the bench in that game, taking advantage of Dain Dainja’s lack of height and Moussa Cisse’s lack of strength. Memphis has tremendous guard play and has reached the final thanks to hot shooting from PJ Haggerty, Tyrese Hunter, and Colby Rogers. Will that continue in its third game in as many days against an elite defense that puts a ton of pressure on opposing ball-handlers? I’ll bet not.Both teams will be playing with tired legs for the finale, which could affect the total in a few ways.
