Johni Broome (Forward) vs. Dalton Knecht (Guard)

Johni Broome has been an outstanding forward for Auburn this season, averaging 16.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, and an incredible 2.4 blocks per game. His ability to dominate both ends of the floor – his efficiency on offense (shooting 55.1% from field), combined with excellent rim protection on defense makes him an irreplaceable two-way threat.

On the Tennessee Volunteers side of things, Dalton Knecht has been an outstanding offensive force, scoring 20.1 points per game with his ability to score from almost anywhere on the court combined with his impressive 40.3% 3-point shooting rate making him a difficult target for opposing defenses to stop. Unfortunately though, his defensive contributions have been fairly minimal at only 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.

When these two stars meet on the hardwood, it will be an exciting spectacle of different styles colliding. Broome’s physical presence in the post will force Knecht to finish in traffic while Knecht’s lethal perimeter shooting could lure Broome away from his basket and give Tennessee’s supporting cast opportunities to capitalize. Undoubtedly, this individual matchup could have significant ramifications on overall game results.

Auburn’s Offensive Strength

The Auburn Tigers have proven one of the nation’s most potent offensive teams this season, averaging 82.7 points per game while shooting an outstanding 46.9% from the field. Their ability to score both inside and outside makes them a daunting opponent for any defense to deal with.

Tennessee’s Defensive Tenacity

On the other hand, the Tennessee Volunteers have built their success on an impenetrable defense that has limited opponents to only 45.6% shooting from the field. Their ability to consistently force turnovers and protect the rim has been key to their success; they average an impressive 8.1 steals and 4.8 blocks per game!
