Auburn Tigers vs Mississippi State Bulldogs Picks and Predictions January 14th 2025
Auburn University is poised for a significant milestone, as the Tigers are expected to claim the No. 1 spot in the Associated Press Top 25 rankings on Monday. However, their upcoming Tuesday night game against No. 14 Mississippi State presents a formidable challenge. Auburn will face the tenacious Bulldogs without their star forward/center Johni Broome, who is sidelined due to a severe ankle sprain. Johni Broome, a player of the year contender, sustained a significant ankle injury during Auburn’s nail-biting 66-63 win over South Carolina on Saturday. The team received confirmation via MRI on Sunday that surgery is not required. However, the timeline for Broome’s return remains uncertain. Broome’s contribution to Auburn’s success this season has been immense: Coach Bruce

Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Ucla Bruins Picks and Predictions January 13th 2025
No. 22 UCLA and Rutgers both aim to reverse their fortunes as the Bruins visit the Scarlet Knights on Monday in a pivotal Big Ten Conference clash at Piscataway, N.J. Both teams are enduring tough stretches and seeking to reestablish momentum. Rutgers (8-8, 1-4 Big Ten) concludes a three-game homestand on Monday, hoping to recover from consecutive losses to Wisconsin and Purdue. The Scarlet Knights are on a three-game losing streak, with scoring struggles largely tied to freshman standout Dylan Harper’s health issues. Harper, the team’s leading scorer at 20.1 points per game, missed the Jan. 2 loss at Indiana due to illness. He returned to action against Wisconsin and Purdue but was a non-factor, scoring just six total points

Head coach Kevin Willard emphasized the role of defense in Maryland’s success at home and pointed to defensive lapses in their road losses to Purdue, Washington, and Oregon. “We’ve had three-minute stretches of defense that’s killed us in all three road games,”
