Yea, they will overwhelm the majority of mid-majors they face. They are a team that feels upset proof until the 2nd weekend unless they absolutely collapse and have a horrid shooting night.
AU isn't that great a shooting team. Most of their shots are from inside the paint and with dunks. Smith can knock down the intermediate jumper and they shoot the three at about a 25% range. The difference with AU is Bruce is not afraid to take bad shots and his guards can penetrate to create easy shots. Missouri is the only team that slowed that down with Smith only hiting two shots.

Auburn had had a few games where they were rough offensively and had long stretches of bad offense. South Florida, Loyola Chicago, Saint Louis, LSU, Missouri. If they have a night like that in the Round of 32 they could lose. But it would probably also have to coincide with Kessler getting foul trouble.
Either way, Auburn's well rounded enough that they don't present a lot of "bad matchup" opponents, which makes them very upset proof comparatively.
