March 03, 2026 SEC Hoops Breakdown with Ron Slay: Alabama’s Grit, Florida’s Dominance, Auburn’s Struggles
SEC Network analyst and Tennessee Volunteers legend Ron Slay joins The Next Round for a loaded breakdown of the biggest storylines in SEC basketball!

🏀 Alabama’s Comeback in Knoxville | Auburn’s Crushing Loss | Florida’s SEC Title Run

We start in Knoxville where the Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball stunned the Vols with a dramatic second-half comeback on the road. How did Alabama flip the script against Tennessee? Ron Slay gives his perspective on what went wrong for the Vols — and what went right for the Tide. Plus, we break down Labaron Philon’s late-game heroics and what his clutch performance says about Alabama’s ceiling heading into March Madness.

Is this Alabama team built for a Final Four run? Are they peaking at the right time in SEC play?

Next, we turn to Auburn after a crushing loss to Ole Miss — a game the Auburn Tigers men's basketball absolutely had to have. What went wrong down the stretch? How much is the recent skid hurting Auburn’s NCAA Tournament hopes? And what does it mean that Steven Pearl had to discipline yet another player during a critical stretch of the season?

🔥 Then we shift to Gainesville where the Florida Gators men's basketball blew out the Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball to clinch the SEC regular season title. Is Florida a legitimate threat to repeat as national champions? Are the Gators the most complete team in the conference — and possibly the country?

If you’re a fan of SEC hoops, Alabama basketball, Tennessee basketball, Auburn basketball, Florida basketball, or just love college basketball analysis — this episode is for you.

March 02, 2026TNR 3/2/26 - Hour 3 | Most HATED Teams in College Football
Josh Pate gave us who he thinks are the eight most hated teams in college football. Who do you think does or does not belong in that discussion?
Evaluating Steven Pearl in his first season as a Head Coach
The Alabama Crimson Tide went on the road to The Tennessee Volunteers to whom Alabama Basketball had lost five straight and stunned Tennessee Basketball 71-69. The Crimson Tide did not lead until the final 24 seconds but got an huge road win.
Alabama is now in second place alone in the SEC with the Arkansas Razorbacks in third. The Crimson Tide (12-4) holds the tie breakout over Arkansas Basketball and is two games clear of the next group at 10-6. This essentially locks the Tide into the SEC Tournament Double Bye, meaning they will not play until Friday.

February 28, 2026 Last Call | Alabama Football’s Biggest Problem? NIL, Transfers & Spring Practice Concerns
Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillespie for a wide-ranging conversation on the current state of Alabama football, the impact of the transfer portal and NIL, and whether Alabama is investing enough to stay on top in today’s college sports landscape.
The discussion opens with a look ahead to Alabama spring practice, including the players Coker is most excited to watch. He talks about both quarterbacks, highlights Jase McClellan as one of the most dynamic athletes on the offense, and explains why McClellan’s loyalty to Alabama stands out in the NIL era. They also break down the biggest concern for the Tide heading into the season: the offensive line, where a lack of continuity could be a major issue.
Mick and Jake also share memories from some of their favorite Alabama football games, including the LSU national championship win, the Rocky Stop against Tennessee, Alabama’s title run with Coker, the 2009 SEC Championship Game, and the 1996 Iron Bowl. The conversation also revisits legendary Alabama defensive back George Teague and two of his most iconic football moments.
Later, the show takes a strong turn into the changing economics of college athletics. Mick and Jake discuss how NIL, the transfer portal, and overall program spending are reshaping the future of college football. They debate whether Alabama must focus more of its financial resources on revenue-producing sports to avoid slipping behind the national elite.
They also dive into Alabama basketball, with praise for Nate Oats and discussion about whether this team can make another deep postseason run. Plus, they touch on roster questions, March expectations, and how this year’s group compares to Alabama’s Final Four squad.
If you’re passionate about Alabama Crimson Tide football, SEC football, college football NIL, and the future of Alabama athletics, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Alabama football spring practice preview
Jake Coker’s favorite returning Alabama players

The Alabama Crimson Tide enters the weekend in second place in the SEC and faces a road trip to The Tennessee Volunteers. Alabama Basketball has lost five straight to Tennessee Basketball. A win could put Alabama in second place alone in the SEC with the Arkansas Razorbacks having to play at Florida. The Crimson Tide (11-4) enters the weekend two games clear of the group tied for fifth in the SEC at 9-6. A win Saturday would likely lock the Tide into the SEC Tournament Double Bye.

February 26, 2026 No Philon, No Problem: Alabama Dominates Mississippi State | Bama and Bourbon
Seven straight wins and spring football on the horizon? That calls for a smooth pour IN OUR NEW STUDIO! 🥃🐘

On this episode of Bama and Bourbon, Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles of Yea Alabama break down Alabama Basketball’s dominant blowout win over Mississippi State — and they did it without leading scorer Labaron Philon. How did the Crimson Tide adjust offensively? Who stepped up in Philon’s absence? And what does this performance say about the depth and championship ceiling of Nate Oats’ squad during this 7-game winning streak?

The guys dive into what’s fueling Alabama’s momentum in SEC play, how this stretch impacts NCAA Tournament seeding, and whether this team is peaking at the right time as March approaches.

Then the focus shifts to the gridiron as LT and Aaron look ahead to Kalen DeBoer and Alabama Football gearing up for spring practice. What are the biggest storylines to watch? How is the roster shaping up? And what does year 3 under DeBoer need to look like for the Crimson Tide to get back into national championship contention?

All of it pairs perfectly with a pour of Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke, blending bold Alabama sports talk with smooth bourbon flavor.

If you’re an Alabama Basketball fan, an Alabama Football diehard, or a true bourbon enthusiast, this episode is for you.

Roll Tide and cheers! 🍻
