Auburn basketball vs. Florida: Scouting report, score prediction, TV info

[ad_1]

At this point, it’s same-old, same-old for No. 1 Auburn basketball.

Winners of 14 straight games after a Tuesday beatdown of Oklahoma at Neville Arena, they’ll welcome another top-10 foe at the week’s end, playing No. 6 Florida on Saturday.

Based on the rankings, it matchs what No. 1 Auburn vs. then-No. 6 Tennessee did Jan. 25, giving Neville Arena the highest-ranked matchup in its history. That night, Auburn pulled out the victory in the final minutes of a defensive affair.

The Gators’ Saturday visit will be Auburn’s third-straight weekend matchup with a ranked foe. It skated past the Volunteers and had no problem staving off then-No. 23 Ole Miss in Oxford. But against another top-10 foe, helmed by a former Bruce Pearl assistant, can the Tigers keep up their winning ways?

As the matchup comes into view, here’s everything you need to know about Auburn vs. Florida.

While Auburn hasn’t had a player sidelined for about two weeks, Florida is dealing with a significant loss in leading-scorer Walter Clayton Jr.

Clayton injured an ankle late in the first half of the Gators’ 64-44 loss at Tennessee on Feb. 1. He returned in the second half but did not play in Tuesday’s win over Vanderbilt after being listed as a game-time decision.

Florida’s leading scorer, Clayton is averaging 17.4 points a game and a team-high 3.8 assists.
