Florida Gators vs. Auburn Tigers

In the first semifinal, the Florida Gators will face the Auburn Tigers. The first semifinal pits SEC rivals Florida against Auburn. The Gators, at 34-4, have ridden Walter Clayton Jr.'s hot hand to get here. On the other side, Auburn (32-5) leans heavily on Johni Broome, who's been a force despite playing banged up most of the year. With two SEC heavyweights squaring off with everything on the line, this has the potential to be a classic.

The opening tip is set for 6:09 PM ET on CBS. 

On BetMGM Sportsbook, Florida is a 2.5-point favorite, with the over/under set at 159.5. Compare BetMGM's odds to those at other college basketball betting sites to find the best prices:

Duke Blue Devils vs. Houston Cougars

In the second semifinal, Duke squares off against Houston. The Blue Devils enter at 34-3, largely thanks to Cooper Flagg, the freshman who's transformed Duke's season with his remarkable play. Houston matches up at 33-4, bringing the country's stingiest defense to the table. The Cougars have complemented that defensive identity with precise shooting from beyond the arc, where L.J. Cryer and Milos Uzan have delivered in crucial moments.

The opening tip is scheduled for 8:49 PM ET on CBS. 

On BetMGM Sportsbook, the Blue Devils are 5.5-point favorites, with the over/under set at 136.5. ​Here is a comparison of odds across college basketball betting sites:

Game Prediction: Florida vs. Auburn

The Tigers entered the tournament as the No. 1 overall seed, but their stumbles at the end of the season—losing three of their last four games—have many doubting them. Another big question for Auburn is the health of its leader, Johni Broome. If he can't perform at his usual level, Florida should be able to take care of Auburn with its nation-leading offensive efficiency, piloted by sharp-shooter Walter Clayton Jr.

However, Auburn seems to be undervalued here due to their recent struggles. Only two months ago, the Tigers were over ten-point favorites against this same Florida team, and now they're 2.5-point dogs. The Gators won that game by nine points, but Auburn is much better defensively now. All that being said, we think Florida will cover again, although it will be closer, assuming Broome is healthy.

Pick: Florida -2.5

Game Prediction: Duke vs. Houston

In a battle between two elite defenses, Duke enters the game as a 5.5-point favorite. The key for Houston will be limiting stat-stuffing freshman sensation Cooper Flagg and guarding the perimeter tightly in order to minimize Duke's lethal shooters. Likewise, the Blue Devils’ D must run the Cougars’ star guard Milos Uzan off the three-point line. Uzan shot 44% from beyond the arc during the regular season, and he has continued to be lights out from downtown during the tournament.

However, defending the perimeter is one of Duke's strengths, which could make life difficult for Uzan. Ultimately, we think Duke has too much offensive firepower for Houston to keep up. Look for the Cougars to keep it close during the first half before the Blue Devils wear them down and pull away late.

Pick: Duke -5.5
