With Kentucky getting blown out by South Carolina, Tennessee looks like the team to beat in the SEC.

Us, Auburn, and Kentucky are good too but at this point Tennessee looks like the best team in the league.

I think us or Auburn are the 2nd best team in the league currently, excited for tomorrow night.

South Carolina is a sneaky Good squad. I think this win might be the resume win that gets them in the tournament in March.


And we beat them by 30

Yeah they probably will make the tournament if they win this one and can avoid getting a terrible loss from here on out. They are a solid team.

Even though Tennessee is probably the best team in the conference they’re still susceptible to being beaten on the road, they lost @Miss State. Hopefully we can get some payback when they come to Tuscaloosa late in the season.

We can win this conference. As long as we win our games vs Auburn and Tennessee at home. Tennessee is the only team that has impressed me in the SEC

Yeah we can if we win those two at home and dont lose any games we shouldn’t. I do think that Sears‘ ankle only being about 70% healthy was a big issue in that game. We should be able to give them a good game in Tuscaloosa.

Sounds like Sears is closer to 90% for this Auburn game which is great news.

We played Purdue who a lot of people think is the best team in the country, Tennessee would beat the crap out of them if they played as good as they did vs us the other night. I know we had 22 turnovers but 15 of them were steals by Tennessee, they played great, I have to give them a lot of credit.

I feel like we beat Auburn tomorrow night. Whats your guys feeling in the game? They are a really good team but they really haven't beaten anyone that good.

I like our guards a lot better than theirs but like their bigs a lot better than ours, should be an interesting game. I think it will probably be a split series with us beating them in Tuscaloosa and them winning in Auburn.

Saturday’s game vs. LSU is officially sold out. This marks @AlabamaMBB’s 5th sold out game in SEC play (Auburn, A&M, Tenn, Ark, LSU).

Nate straight up called out the team so we either respond and fight like hell against Auburn tomorrow or we fold. We'll have the answer one way or another.

I said this before. This team will be a lot better at home.

Move the ball, defend, and rebound.

Play Cosby if we hit a roadblock on offense.

They might, but this Tennessee team seems different to me. Usually they have a top 10 defense but suck on offense, this year they have the #2 defense and have a top 20 offense too.

Usually I think they’re a pretender but I think this year they’re a contender.

According to KenPom Auburn is top 10 in offense and defense, so by the metrics they may be one of the best teams in the country but then again they are 0 and 2 in quad 1 games and are pretty low in strength of schedule. Thats why I said I am interested to see how good they really are. We’re probably the best team they will have played so far this season.

Tennessee already lost to Purdue. They're not nearly as good against teams with good bigs who can score and protect the rim (Edey, Bacot, Dickinson, and Tolu Smith all had a lot of success against them).

Still impressed with them, though. They're a terrible matchup for us with the way they defend the drive.

9-53 is beyond bad but I'm still shocked we are favored after Saturday's effort.

Heading that way in a few hours. Safe travels for everyone in the rain and RTR!

The Evolution of Alabama vs Auburn on the Hardwood (SI)

Ahead of the first meeting this season between these bitter rivals, let's look back at how the rivalry became this intense.

The wildest stat in college basketball right now: Per @EvanMiya lineup data, the most efficient five-man group in the country (with at least 90 possessions together) is … Auburn’s second five.
