Jim Dunaway gave us his greatest prediction ever last week and we scoffed. Dunaway labeled Team Italy as the team that could make a surprise run in the World Baseball Classic. Not, have they. The Italians upset the United States last night and are on the cusp of advancing out of pool play.
Bam Adebayo scores 83
Brian Kelly said WHAT?
The Auburn Tigers got bubble help yesterday with the Pitt upset of Stanford in the ACC Tournament but can Auburn Basketball make the most of it? The Tigers face the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Nashville at 2:00 today as they play for their postseason lives. Auburn is favored by 2.5-points.
Jon Sumrall's spring break plans are canceled

March 10 Last Call | Auburn’s Nepotism Hire Is a Joke — And Alabama Might Be Built for a Run
There is a lot happening in Alabama sports right now, and this video hits the biggest storylines from both basketball and football.
We start with the controversy at Auburn, where Bruce Pearl retired in September 2025 and Steven Pearl took over as head coach, a move that has sparked heavy criticism over nepotism. ESPN reported Bruce’s retirement and Steven’s succession last fall, and that debate has resurfaced this week with Paul Finebaum calling Bruce Pearl’s public comments about helping his son get the job “pretty embarrassing.”
From there, we turn to the SEC Tournament, where Alabama is sitting in a strong position in Nashville. The official bracket has Alabama on the double-bye line, while the tournament runs March 11–15 at Bridgestone Arena. That sets up a huge opportunity for the Crimson Tide to make a deep run while the rest of the league fights through the early rounds.
Then it is over to Alabama football spring practice, where one of the biggest storylines is the quarterback competition between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack. On3 highlighted that battle as one of the top spring questions for the Tide, while also noting that wide receiver Ryan Williams is now going by Ryan Coleman-Williams. 247Sports also reflected the updated name and the quarterback storyline in its recent Alabama spring coverage.
We also dig into the bigger concern around Alabama’s offense: experience. With spring practice underway, there is real attention on the rebuilt offensive line and how quickly the new-look unit can come together around whichever quarterback wins the job. That is the kind of issue that can define Alabama’s ceiling in 2026.
Finally, we zoom out to the national college sports picture, where Nick Saban and Urban Meyer were both part of a recent high-profile White House roundtable focused on issues facing college athletics, including NIL and the broader structure of the sport. That makes this conversation bigger than just Alabama and Auburn, because the entire model of college sports is still shifting in real time.

March 10 What’s Wrong With Auburn? Dane Bradshaw on Alabama’s Big Win & Florida’s Dominance
SEC basketball is heating up as we head toward March, and SEC Network analyst Dane Bradshaw joins The Next Round to break down the biggest storylines in the conference. From the intensity of the Alabama vs. Auburn rivalry to the rising dominance of Florida, there’s a lot to unpack as the SEC Tournament approaches.
In this conversation, Dane Bradshaw dives into Alabama’s impressive win over Auburn and what it says about both teams heading into postseason play. What exactly is going wrong for Steven Pearl’s Tigers right now? After high expectations throughout the season, Auburn has struggled to find consistency—is it too late to fix what's ailing Auburn?
We also take a deep look at Alabama basketball and why the Crimson Tide’s elite backcourt makes them one of the most dangerous teams in the SEC and beyond. With their guard play clicking at the right time, could Alabama be a serious threat to make a deep run in the SEC Tournament and possibly the NCAA Tournament?
And then there’s Florida. The Gators have been on an incredible run, raising the big question across the conference: Can anyone actually beat Florida in the SEC Tournament? Dane shares his insight on what makes the Gators so tough and which teams might have the best chance to challenge them.
If you’re a fan of SEC basketball, Alabama basketball, Auburn basketball, Florida basketball, March Madness, and the SEC Tournament, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

March 09TNR 3/9/26 - Hour 3 | CFB Team Favored in EVERY GAME & Tua RELEASED!
Tua released by the Dolphins...next stop?
Which college football teams will be favored in every game this season?
Cam Coleman at Texas spring practice
The Auburn Tigers visit to the Alabama Crimson Tide went about as bad as it could for Auburn Basketball and as well as it could for Alabama Basketball Saturday night. The Tide steamrolled The Tigers early and coasted to a 96-84 win.
The win for Alabama earns the two seed in the SEC Tournament meaning Alabama does not play again until Friday Night. The win also has Alabama as a 3-Seed in most NCAA Tournament projections. What do you think the Tide must do to hold that spot?
The situation for Auburn is much more dire. The Tigers are now 16-15 overall and 7-11 in SEC play. They are the 12-seed in the SEC Tournament this week and squarely on the Bubble. By—some suggest Auburn must sweep the whole event to get in the Tournament, do we agree? Is there any way this version of Auburn can pull that off?

March 06TNR 3/6/26 - Hour 3 | Auburn at Alabama: Auburn’s Last Shot? Alabama’s Seeding Ceiling
Bowl ties going away?
New assistants in college football making big impacts
The Auburn Tigers visit the Alabama Crimson Tide Tomorrow in the final SEC regular season game. The importance of a win for Auburn Basketball can’t be overstated. The Tigers are in desperate need of resume helping wins and Alabama would be a Q1 win for the Tigers and a potential “ticket puncher”.
For Alabama Basketball, it is now all about seeding. The Tide is locked into a SEC Tournament Double Bye and can lock the 2-Seed in Nashville with a win. They can also continue to build their NCAA Tournament seeding with most projections having Alabama as a 4-Seed with an outside shot of reaching a 3-Seed.
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi (and others) will have their latest Bracketology, what does it tell us about the importance of this game.
