In one of the most anticipated games of the nonconference college basketball slate, No. 4 Houston and No. 11 Auburn face off Saturday at the Toyota Center in downtown Houston.
The teams come into the matchup as the top two programs in the country in KenPom’s ratings — largely because of their defense. Both rosters feature remarkable defensive versatility, with multiple players who can guard several positions.
We’ll see how Auburn (1-0) responds after a strange incident on Friday. The Tigers had their team flight grounded on after a fight broke out on the plane between Auburn players. After the plane returned to Auburn, the team eventually reboarded and completed the flight to Houston.
