The Georgia Southern Eagles will have to replace their leading scorer from a season ago as Tookie Brown averaged 17.3 PPG and 4.7 APG. Junior guard Quan Jackson was one of the top producers for the Eagles last season as he contributed 14.8 PPG, and he will return back to the starting lineup.

Betting Trends for vs
The Auburn Tigers are coming off a remarkable run to the Final Four, but they will have to replace a ton of key pieces from that roster. The Tigers were able to recruit well this offseason as they added three 4-star recruits, and this is the perfect game to break them in as the Georgia Southern Eagles struggled on the defensive side of the court last season. Georgia Southern had no problem scoring with the best of teams, but they lost their top scorer to graduation which also leaves them with concerns. I expect Bruce Pearl to have his young guys ready to play, and I will give the edge to the home team here. Final Score Prediction, Auburn Tigers win and cover ATS 80-63.
