After suffering two straight losses on the road, Auburn Basketball returns to Neville Arena to play in their most important game to date.
Auburn welcomes No. 3 Alabama to town for a sold-out contest in hopes to play the role of spoiler and to rediscover much-needed momentum heading into the final seven games of the regular season.
Alabama has won all 12 games against SEC opponents, with neither game being particularly close. The Crimson Tide defeated Mississippi State 66-63 on Jan. 25, which would be the closest that any SEC team has gotten to knocking off the Tide.
The Tigers play their best basketball on their home court, winning 29 of the last 30 games played at Neville Arena. They will need to let the energy of the crowd flow through them in order to solidify a big win over one of the nation’s best teams.
In an effort to learn more about Auburn’s next opponent, Alabama, we spoke with Roll Tide Wire’s Stacey Blackwood about the Tide’s most recent SEC win streak, Nate Oats culture change, and he gives us his final score prediction.
