Johni Broome (Forward) vs. Curtis Jones (Guard)
Auburn’s Johni Broome has been one of the most powerful players for his team very early during the season with 20 points and 11.3 rebounds which gives him a double-double average. He has high shooting efficiency field goals at a rate of 65.5%, and, averages 3.3 blocks which enhances his abilities to be an essential player for Auburn. Controlling the pace of the game from both ends of the floor will be significant for Auburn’s game plan in overpowering Iowa State.
On the other side, Iowa State has Curtis Jones who has been exemplary as the point guard for Iowa State by recording 15 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3 assists. He possesses a good three point shooting averaging 42.1%, which helps the Cyclones in shooting from the perimeter. Iowa State will heavily depend on Jones; his all-around game and leadership as the team anticipates neutralizing Auburn’s bulky players and continues to go all season without a loss.
As the two players compete, Jones’ and Broome’s forms will be very effective. It will be physical inside the paint as Auburn tries to exploit its strength against Iowa State, which will be attempting to dominate from outside the arc. Broome’s presence may determine how the game will go; on the other hand, he may also strain the cyclone’s pace as Jones sustains pressure on the perimeter.

Such offensive depth will be key in penetrating Iowa State’s defense, which has weaknesses in defense on the perimeter.
