Yale vs Auburn Prediction
Yale was less than a minute away from not even making the NCAA Tournament, but the Bulldogs made a furious comeback to stun Brown in the final seconds to win the Ivy League championship.
The Bulldogs take on SEC champion Auburn in the first round, who posted the top defensive numbers in conference play.
Auburn is 4-0 in the first round of the tournament under head coach Bruce Pearl, as this is the second time in his tenure they have been a double-digit favorite in the Big Dance.
Ivy League teams have put together a terrific 8-1 ATS mark in the first round of the NCAA Tournament since 2013.
Yale will look to slow down the tempo as they owned the 328th-ranked tempo in the country. However, Auburn went 5-0 against the four-slowest tempo teams in the SEC this season (beat South Carolina twice).
The Bulldogs will give the Tigers' fits, but it will be hard to see a repeat of last season when Princeton stunned Arizona in the first round.
Pick: Auburn -12.5 (-110)
