Scouting report: This team plays solid defense and usually wins the battle for rebounds. ... Davis is a monster shot-blocker, averaging 3.7 a game, but the lack of consistent long-range shooting along with some sloppy ballhandling — Auburn had nearly 70 more turnovers than assists — could prevent the Tigers from advancing past the second round.
