More on Auburn vs. Bradley

These two teams kick off their Mexican vacations just after dusk in the beach town of Cancun, which is hosting a holiday tournament this week. Auburn and Bradley join the likes of Eastern Michigan, Southern Miss, IPFW, Winthrop, Liberty and Northwestern.

Bradley actually could be the best team Auburn faces during their entire Mexican getaway. The Braves are a balanced scoring attack with a coach that has won two conference titles in the last four years. This mid-major program is no pushover, and Auburn has struggled at times to put these types of teams away. Things could get interesting if the Tigers fail to separate, but a loss for them would be pretty shocking.
