March 16 Ron Slay on SEC Teams in March Madness | Arkansas More Dangerous Than Florida? Can Bama Make a Run?
The road to March Madness is here and the NCAA Tournament is officially set! 🏀 In this episode of The Next Round, SEC Network analyst and Tennessee legend Ron Slay joins the show to break down everything you need to know about the SEC teams heading into the Big Dance.

Slay dives into the biggest storylines surrounding SEC Basketball as the tournament tips off this week. Is Arkansas actually more dangerous than Florida right now? Are the Gators’ guards good enough to carry them all the way to a national championship? And what about Alabama — did the Crimson Tide get the kind of draw that could set up a deep March Madness run?

The guys also discuss whether Auburn was snubbed by the NCAA Selection Committee and debate the decision by Steven Pearl and the Tigers to accept an invitation to the NIT Tournament. Plus, Ron gives his thoughts on the tournament outlook for Tennessee and Vanderbilt and which SEC teams have the best chance to make serious noise in the bracket.

If you're a fan of college basketball, the SEC, March Madness, Alabama Basketball, Tennessee Basketball, Florida Basketball, Auburn Basketball, Arkansas Basketball, or Vanderbilt Basketball, this is a must-watch breakdown heading into the NCAA Tournament.

March 16TNR 3/16/26 - Hour 1 | Auburn DENIED: Headed to the NIT
Auburn Basketball was left out of the Tournament by the Selection Committee though many argued their metrics were the strongest of anyone on the Bubble. In the wake of that, Auburn accepted an NIT Invitation where they are the over 1-Seed and face the South Alabama Jaguars in round one. As an Auburn fan, do you think the Tigers should’ve accepted or declined the bid?
Is Auburn the biggest snub from the field of 68? If not, who is?
The Alabama Crimson Tide is headed to the NCAA Tournament as a 4-Seed in the Midwest Region, the Michigan Wolverines are the 1-Seed in that bracket. Alabama Basketball will face 13-seed Hofstra in the first round Friday at 2:15. The winner of that game gets the winner of that Texas Tech Red Raiders v. Akron Zips game.

March 14 Last Call | Alabama Basketball Trouble + Alabama Football QB Battle: Keelon Russell or Austin Mack?
Alabama Crimson Tide fans have plenty to talk about as we break down the latest on Alabama Basketball and Alabama Football. After Alabama’s disappointing 97-86 loss to Ole Miss, the conversation turns to what went wrong, why the Tide looked lackadaisical early, and whether this team has the gritty on-court leader needed to make a deep March Madness run.

We also discuss Alabama’s NCAA Tournament outlook, including why the Crimson Tide still look like a 4 or 5 seed despite the loss, and which teams—like Florida and Arizona—could be dangerous in the bracket.

On the football side, we dive into one of the biggest storylines of the offseason: the Alabama quarterback battle between Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. Mack brings experience, knowledge of the system, and maturity, while Russell has the elite arm talent and superstar ceiling that could make him the future of Alabama Football. The big question: who gives the Crimson Tide the best chance to win?

Plus, we talk about leadership, toughness, and what it really takes to win the locker room at Alabama.

If you’re an Alabama fan, this is a must-watch discussion on the biggest Crimson Tide storylines right now.

March 13TNR 3/13/26 - Hour 3 | Philon Has a Chip on His Shoulder & Auburn Is SWEATING the Bubble!
Our daily 4 Downs!
Labaron Philon playing with a chip on his shoulder?
The Auburn Tigers may have finally reached the end of their rope. It all started with the 72-62 loss to the Tennessee Volunteers that included a 20-0 second half run by Tennessee Basketball. The worst part of the day for Auburn Basketball may have occurred later Thursday night when the Oklahoma Sooners upset the Texas A&M Aggies 83-63. That win by Oklahoma Basketball has moved the Sooners in front of Auburn on many bracket projections. Now, Auburn must wait.
