This will be the first game to tipoff at 6:09 PM ET with Duke and Houston coming up after from the Alamodome in San Antonio. From the opening tip, action will be exciting and there will be plenty to watch from both sides.

Below, check out the best bets to consider for this game.

Spread: Florida -2.5

Florida has been arguably the best team in the nation over the last month. The Gators have been dominant down the stretch of the season, going 16-1 and 13-4 against the spread. Florida was tested in the second round by UConn and in the previous round by Texas Tech but Walter Clayton stepped up in the second half of both games. This All-American presence on the perimeter could be the difference. Auburn has not been putting it all together as of late either. It will need Johni Broome to have a massive day inside but Florida has the size to offset the paint. Guards win in March and the Gators have one of the nation’s best.

Total: Over 159.5

What fun would it be to bet an under in this game? Aside from that, there will be plenty of possessions in this contest. Florida and Auburn are two teams that know each other well and they both want to run. The question remains, will shots be falling early? With a total approaching 160, that will be the key but the second half will provide a lot of points, especially if the game is close. Florida scored 90 on Auburn during the regular season and this is another game that could be played around that number.

Prop: Tahaad Pettiford Over 12.5 points

Pettiford ha seen his usage go up in the NCAA Tournament. He has scored 13 or more points in four of his last five games. For Auburn to win this game, Pettiford will have to make his presence felt. The Auburn team total is 78.5. They reached 80+ points against Florida during the regular season. Clayton will provide a boost for the Gators and Auburn will look to Pettiford early and often to find his offense.
