After another INSANE weekend of College Basketball, Jim Dunaway and Taylor Korn discuss a weekend that was both historic and heartbreaking for the Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide.
Nate Oats and this Alabama Basketball team entered the weekend on the NCAA Tournament 1-line and were playing in a game for the 1-seed in Knoxville vs Tennessee on Saturday. After a Jahmai Mashack buzzer beater that put Tennessee up 79-76, Joe Lunardi bumped Alabama to a 2-seed. Can Alabama play their way back up to the 1 line or has their fate been decided?
If the SEC Basketball Tournament started TODAY, here’s what the seeding would look like:
- Auburn
- Florida
- Alabama
- Tennessee
- Missouri
- Texas A&M
- Ole Miss
- Kentucky
- Mississippi State
- Vanderbilt
- Arkansas
- Georgia
- Texas
- Oklahoma
- LSU
- South Carolina
After already clinching the SEC Regular Season Title, should we be worried about the motivation of this Auburn Basketball team entering the SEC Basketball Tournament? How hungry are they after already accomplishing such a major achievement?
Denver Jones was injured early in Auburn’s game vs Kentucky on Saturday and did not return to the court after limping off with an ankle injury. Bruce Pearl stated postgame that Jones’ diagnosis was a bone bruise. Could we see him sit a few games in preparation for the NCAA Tournament?
Auburn’s trio of guards in Miles Kelly, Chad Baker-Mazara, and Tahaad Pettiford were responsible for scoring 73 of Auburn’s 94 points vs Kentucky on Saturday? Does Auburn have the BEST GROUP OF GUARDS in the country?
Auburn plays their final road game on Tuesday night, traveling to play Texas A&M on their home court in the Tigers and Aggies first matchup of the season. Auburn is the only team in the conference that has not lost an SEC road game and look to finish out the season going unscathed away from home.
Alabama will play their final game in Coleman Coliseum on Wednesday night, hosting Florida before traveling to play Auburn in Neville Arena to wrap up the regular season. After a heartbreaking loss to Tennessee in Knoxville, will this Alabama team come out to play with energy and excitement when hosting an elite Florida team?
