Auburn Tigers enter the NIT semifinals as the top seed after three home wins, including a 75-69 quarterfinal victory over Nevada, showcasing balanced scoring from Tahaad Pettiford (15.3 PPG, 3.7 APG) and Kevin Overton (17.0 PPG), though an eight-day layoff tests rhythm on neutral-site Hinkle Fieldhouse. Illinois State Redbirds, riding a three-game NIT surge with road Quad 1 triumphs over Wake Forest (78-75) and Dayton (61-55), boast the nation's 37th-ranked scoring defense (67.9 PPG allowed, 19 foes under 70) led by physical forward Chase Walker (13.7 PPG, 5.4 RPG). Pace mismatch favors Auburn's top-third tempo against ISU's deliberate style, with no major injuries altering rosters amid both teams' 4-1 recent form.
