Barn all day. Alabama is a turnover and fouling machine.

As others have said, I think this game is 50/50.

I think this game is much more important for bammer. Alabama needs to win this game at home just to make the NCAA tournament.

Auburn becomes a serious contender for the regular season championship if they win another game on the road.

with no Hall I don't like our chances

maybe if Petty can have one of his fire games where he lights it up from 3 point land

We're tops in rebounding and they'll be without Hall. We're the mismatch, not them.

This doesn't bode well as Auburn is one of the best in the league in FT shooting..

. We ain't the Aggies.

Seriously though, this is exactly the type of game we would lose by 15 to end a steak

I can see us winning, but I don't expect it.

Pretty much how i feel.. Auburn is still very underrated considering our young team is getting better by the game. We're the 2nd youngest in the nation in average minutes played.

The Hall loss wouldnt be that bad if Giddens could go more than 30 seconds without fouling

Nope, but if Avery is any type of a coach, they will, it's their only option.

If Auburn is hitting their 3's, this game will be a blowout.

If Auburn is shooting 20% or less from the outside, its a 5 point game decided in the final minutes. That always favors the home team in this league.

Alabama is talented enough to beat Auburn.


Most every team in the conference is, which is why this run is so amazing. Bruce said it himself...We could win all our games, and we could lose all our games. With talent so even, that's when coaching and chemistry take over.

Alabama probably wins comfortably.

I realize this is a new year and all, but Auburn shot 55.6% from 3 in Coleman last year and won by 5.

I agree , Bama has the talent and is starting to get physical. Been impressed with Smith and Reese.

You are going to beat us. We haven't beaten a good team all season and it won't start on Wednesday.

Beating crappy LSU and South Carolina doesn't change anything.

Need to take a look at rhode island and BYU sport. I understand you're frustrated but don't take it that far.

Those 2 are solid. I also expect UT Arlington to get it together.
