That was back in January, when they lost by one point to the Missouri Tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There aren&#8217;t many holes to poke in Auburn&#8217;s lineup, which ranks top 10 in KenPom&#8217;s offensive and defensive efficiency metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florida also sits inside the top 10 for both categories, though, as do Duke and Houston, which round out the Final Four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A game this close could very well come down to free throws, and Auburn fouls at a very high rate (18.4 per game, 299th in D-1). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NCAA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><strong>Clayton 3+ threes<\/strong><\/strong> (-148):<\/strong> I debated backing Clayton on this line as one of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/march-madness-prop-bets-final-four-april-5-2025?v7\">three best prop bets<\/a> for the Final Four. These odds don&#8217;t exactly scream &#8220;standalone play,&#8221; though, so I decided against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in an SGP? Sign me up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clayton has been the star of the tournament so far, averaging 22.2 PPG while shooting 45.2% from 3-point range. He&#8217;s coming off a 30-point game against Texas Tech where he shot 3-for-8 from deep and has been living around this number since Feb. 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2+ threes in 17 of 17 games<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3+ threes in 11 of 17 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dynamic guard has cleared this mark in six of his last seven games and went 4-for-8 from deep against Auburn earlier this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Baker-Mazara 1+ threes<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-305):<\/strong> I&#8217;ll be pretty rattled if Baker-Mazara sinks this SGP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third-year guard is a career 39.0% three-point shooter and is averaging 1.5 makes on 4.0 attempts this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s cleared this mark in five of his last six games and attempted a team-high eight 3s against the Michigan State Spartans in the Elite Eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we get anywhere near that type of volume on Saturday, this should be a breeze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Florida vs. Auburn predictions made at 10:15 a.m. on 04\/04\/25<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida and Auburn meet for the right to represent the SEC in Monday&#8217;s college basketball national championship game.
