3 keys and a prediction for Michigan basketball vs. Auburn

Michigan basketball and Auburn will meet on Tuesday night in Las Vegas in the second game for both teams in the Players Festival.

The game is a Sweet 16 rematch from last season, but the Tigers have just one player back who played significant minutes against the Wolverines. Michigan has a few: Nimari Burnett, Will Tscetter, Roddy Gayle, and L.J. Cason, but only one starter is back from the Auburn game last year, Burnett.

Bruce Pearl will also be joining the announcers instead of coaching. His son is now the head coach for Auburn, which is 5-1 and ranked 19th according to the Kenpom rankings.
