Our NC State vs. Auburn predictions expect Tahaad Pettiford & Co. to pull away against the Wolfpack.
The No. 20 Auburn Tigers face off against the NC State Wolfpack in the ACC/SEC Challenge tonight. The Wolfpack made the Final Four in 2024, while the Tigers made the Final Four last season, and both are led by new head coaches.
are 5-2 but have covered the spread just once in their last four games. They're coming off a trip to the Maui Invitational, where they lost to Seton Hall and Texas despite being favored in both contests. have a similar 6-2 record, but it's come against better competition. While they were clobbered by No. 3-ranked Michigan, they lost by just a single point to No. 8 Houston while beating No. 22 St. John's. Auburn is spearheaded by the duo of Keyshawn Hall and Tahaad Pettiford . Williams, Quadir Copeland, and Tre Holloman are combining to knock down 5.3 threes per game at a 55.2% clip. Given that they combined to shoot 31.9% from the arc last year, expect significant regression in that area. That regression could hit in their first true road game against an Auburn squad that is athletic and closes out perimeter shooters. The Tigers are 68th in the country in adjusted defense, perThe Tigers have performed better against quality teams, and that, combined with their defense and home-court advantage, is enough for me to back them on the spread. Both offenses like to push the pace, which should result in more possessions and an increase in stats across the board. Pettiford struggled with his outside shot at the start of the season, but broke out of his mini-slump in the Players Era Festival last week. He averaged 22.3 ppg over three games while going 8-19 from deep. While I'm fading NC State on the spread, the O/U assists for Williams is too low at 1.5. The ball-handling forward has eclipsed that number in six of seven games this season and averaged 3.6 apg with Texas Tech last year. The Wolfpack don't have much interior depth, which has resulted in Ven-Allen Lubin playing 70 minutes over the last two games. He's logged 9+ boards in four straight contests and will rarely come off the court in this matchup.The Wolfpack have only covered the spread in 11 of their last 31 games for -11 units and a -32% ROI.
