Michigan can't stop the might of the No. 1 seed. While it is March Madness and the 2025 Sweet Sixteen, this game isn't going to be neck-and-neck — Auburn and Johni Broome will certainly advance to the Elite Eight. Vladislav Goldin is a 7'1" center and operates magnificently like a hybrid guard-forward, but there's just no chance Michigan has what it takes to beat Auburn. 

Auburn is favored by -8.5 points on the spread and don't be mistaken, Auburn is winning tonight. 

Right now, the Tigers' balance as a squad is unparalleled in the tournament.
