Definitely this stat will play a significant role in Auburn’s matchup with Ole Miss
Ole Miss will be the opponent in the big game for the Auburn Tigers.
The Tigers, who are 4-0 in SEC action right now, will welcome Ole Miss on Saturday in Neville Arena in an attempt to secure a top victory. Auburn will welcome back coach Wes Flanigan and former wing Allen Flanigan for an exciting baseball game. In addition to his 16.5 points per game average, Flanigan also has 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.9 blocks, and seven rebounds. Wes Flanigan is familiar with Coach Bruce Pearl’s system, so Auburn needs to realize that he will have a strategy for this game. This will be an interesting clash to watch.
Blocks is one stat that will be important in this game. Among the top teams in college basketball for shot blocking are the Ole Miss Rebels and Auburn Tigers. With 6.6 blocks per game in collegiate basketball, Ole Miss is ranked third. Auburn blocks 5.6 shots per game, ranking eleventh in the same measure. One more intriguing feature of this game is seeing these two teams try to score baskets around the rim. Both sides’ guards will have difficulty scoring among the trees. You can anticipate that in this game, the rim protection of each team will be important.
With the victory over Vanderbilt, Coach Pearl had this to say about Dylan Cardwell, who plays a significant role in Auburn’s ability to block shots: “Dylan (Cardwell) is just a monster at the rim and did a great job of getting out of ball screen,” Pearl remarked. “Defensively, he (Cardwell) doesn’t take a possession off ever.”
There will be a ton of storylines and a great back-and-forth basketball contest on the Plains. If the Tigers can pull off this victory, they’ll aim to improve their SEC record to 5-0.
