The regular season has come to an end and it’s TOURNAMENT TIME! After 2-straight losses, Alabama upset the Auburn Tigers in Neville Arena, but did the win mean anything? Auburn had already clinched the SEC Regular Season Championship. During the contest, Auburn’s Chad Baker-Mazara found himself in the middle of conflict and was ejected after being issued a Flagrant 2. How will Bruce Pearl and this coaching staff handle the situation heading into the postseason, where it is VITAL that Chad can keep his emotions in check? Has there EVER been a National Player of the Year candidate that gets a whistle like Johni Broome does? After finishing the regular season 27-4, some Auburn fans seem to have lost faith in this team. Should they remain hopeful that this team can go on a run or is there reason for concern?

As conference play and the regular season come to an end, Nate Oats and his Alabama team will travel to Auburn to play Bruce Pearl’s Auburn Tigers for the second time this season. Alabama has lost 4 of their last 6 and Nate Oats doesn’t seem to be concerned about his team’s ability, but more so his team’s effort. Grant Nelson has hit ONE 3-point shot in his last 7 games, hasn’t hit one since Alabama played Texas in early February. Chris Youngblood has had a few good games but only seems to put up big offensive numbers when playing Mississippi State. Mark Sears and Labaron Philon have played consistently over this rough stretch, but can the Tide pull it together in Neville? Both Johni Broome and Mark Sears will go down as two of the all-time Auburn and Alabama Basketball greats. Both have an insanely long list of accolades and Sears led Alabama to the first Final Four in program history just last season. Auburn won the first No.1 vs No. 2 matchup in SEC Basketball History that occurred between Auburn and Alabama in Coleman Coliseum earlier this season. With College GameDay in town and all eyes on the state of Alabama, Johni Broome & co got the job done in Tuscaloosa. Denver Jones played a big role Auburn walking away with that win, holding Alabama’s guards (Mark Sears, Aden Holloway, Chris Youngblood) to 4-18 from the 3-point line. Denver Jones got injured during Auburn’s game at Kentucky and did not play vs Texas A&M. Will Jones be back out on the court on Saturday? Will Auburn protect their home court and finish the regular season with 2 wins over their in-state rival? The SEC Basketball Tournament is less than a week away and the bracket is almost set. Since they won the SEC Regular Season Championship, Auburn will be the 1-Seed in Nashville. Alabama is currently the 3-Seed but could fall to a 4-seed if they lose on Saturday and Tennessee beats South Carolina.

After another INSANE weekend of College Basketball, Jim Dunaway and Taylor Korn discuss a weekend that was both historic and heartbreaking for the Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide. Nate Oats and this Alabama Basketball team entered the weekend on the NCAA Tournament 1-line and were playing in a game for the 1-seed in Knoxville vs Tennessee on Saturday. After a Jahmai Mashack buzzer beater that put Tennessee up 79-76, Joe Lunardi bumped Alabama to a 2-seed. Can Alabama play their way back up to the 1 line or has their fate been decided? If the SEC Basketball Tournament started TODAY, here’s what the seeding would look like: Auburn Florida Alabama Tennessee Missouri Texas A&M Ole Miss Kentucky Mississippi State Vanderbilt   Arkansas Georgia Texas Oklahoma  LSU South Carolina After already clinching the SEC Regular Season Title, should we be worried about the motivation of this Auburn Basketball team entering the SEC Basketball Tournament? How hungry are they after already accomplishing such a major achievement? Denver Jones was injured early in Auburn’s game vs Kentucky on Saturday and did not return to the court after limping off with an ankle injury. Bruce Pearl stated postgame that Jones’ diagnosis was a bone bruise. Could we see him sit a few games in preparation for the NCAA Tournament? Auburn’s trio of guards in Miles Kelly, Chad Baker-Mazara, and Tahaad Pettiford were responsible for scoring 73 of Auburn’s 94 points vs Kentucky on Saturday? Does Auburn have the BEST GROUP OF GUARDS in the country? Auburn plays their final road game on Tuesday night, traveling to play Texas A&M on their home court in the Tigers and Aggies first matchup of the season. Auburn is the only team in the conference that has not lost an SEC road game and look to finish out the season going unscathed away from home. Alabama will play their final game in Coleman Coliseum on Wednesday night, hosting Florida before traveling to play Auburn in Neville Arena to wrap up the regular season. After a heartbreaking loss to Tennessee in Knoxville, will this Alabama team come out to play with energy and excitement when hosting an elite Florida team?

News broke yesterday that Auburn and Arizona will be playing a home and home series starting in Tucson in 2025. Arizona’s date to travel to Auburn has not yet been determined. Bruce Pearl and Nate Oats have both been very successful when evaluating transfer portal talent and bringing in guys who fit their style of play. Miles Kelly and Chris Youngblood have been two transfers (Miles Kelly to Auburn, Chris Youngblood to Alabama) that have been playing incredible basketball as of late. Auburn, 26-2 on the season and 14-1 in SEC play, travels to Lexington this weekend to play Kentucky in Rupp Arena. The Auburn Tigers have not won inside Rupp Arena since 1988 — will this be the team that ENDS AUBURN’S Rupp Arena losing streak? Kentucky’s Lamont Butler (shoulder) and Jaxson Robinson (wrist) had both been out with injuries but returned to the court for Kentucky’s matchup with Oklahoma earlier this week. Butler ended up fouling out and Robinson sat the second half after reaggravating his wrist. Otega Oweh completely took over that game and led Kentucky to a victory over Oklahoma. If Lamont Butler is limited on Saturday, can he do it again? Alabama, 23-5 on the season and 12-3 in SEC play, travels to Knoxville for their first matchup agains Tennessee this season. Alabama and Tennessee’s greatest strengths are each other’s greatest weaknesses. Alabama ranked 1st in total offense, Tennessee ranks 14th in total offense. Tennessee ranks 1st in points allowed per game, Alabama ranks 16th. Will Zakai Zeigler and Jahmai Mashack bother Alabama on defense? Will Tennessee be able to keep up if Alabama turns this game into a track meet? DOES BRUCE PEARL DESERVE TO WIN NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR? Auburn has had a HISTORIC season so far, sitting atop the AP Poll for 7 consecutive weeks, breaking both Auburn and National records, and battling for the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament while playing in a HISTORICALLY elite conference. Who would get your vote for National Coach of the Year? Is Alabama in BETTER SHAPE without Mark Sears at the Point? Do Labaron Philon and Aden Holloway facilitate Alabama’s offense more productively?

Auburn and Alabama both got wins on their home court this weekend with Auburn beating Georgia for the second time this season and Alabama beating Kentucky for the second time, both completing season sweeps. Mark Sears bad BACK-TO-BACK 30+ point games, which is an incredible accomplishment by the Alabama star. Sears hasn’t looked like him self at some points throughout the season but seems to have his shot back. Which other Alabama player do you think is his offensive sidekick? Aden Holloway? Grant Nelson? Auburn is on a historic run this season but what needs to happen when the NCAA Tournament/March Madness rolls around for this season to be considered successful? Would Auburn making it back to the Final Four be enough or do the Tigers need to win the National Championship for this season to seem successful? On the topic of historic runs, Auburn currently has 14 Quad 1 wins, 4 behind the all-time record which is held by UConn who had 18 during the 2023-24 season. All 4 of Auburn’s remaining games are currently QUAD 1 games so the Tigers have a chance to break that record before tournament play begins. Many have talked about the fact that winning the SEC Tournament this season might be harder than winning the National Championship due to the amount of talent that resides in the SEC. Which is more IMPORTANT: Winning the SEC Regular Season Title or the SEC Tournament? Alabama has struggled defensively over the past few seasons — WHAT IS GOING ON AND HOW CAN IT BE FIXED? Is the atmosphere/student section in Neville Arena, The Jungle, living up to the hype?  RANK Alabama’s remaining opponents (Mississippi State, Tennessee, Florida, and Auburn) in order from LEAST to MOST difficult games.

On this week’s episode of The Basketball Show, Jim Dunaway and Taylor Korn discuss all things SEC Basketball: If you’re Auburn’s head coach, Bruce Pearl, and you’re playing for the National Championship, which 5 guys do you trust most on the court? Johni Broome? Tahaad Pettiford? Miles Kelly? Denver Jones? Chad Baker-Mazara? Chaney Johnson? If you’re Alabama’s head coach, Nate Oats, and you’re playing for the National Championship, which 5 guys do you trust most on the court? Mark Sears? Aden Holloway? Grant Nelson? Chris Youngblood? Cliff Omoruyi? Mo Dioubate? Is the 2024-25 Auburn Basketball team one of the best college basketball teams EVER?

Is now the time to start the discussion of this Auburn basketball team being one of the best ever? The Auburn Tigers will host Georgia on Saturday after playing the Bulldogs in Athens without their star Johni Broome earlier this season. Can the Tigers contain Asa Newell and extend their SEC winning streak? After back-to-back losses for the first time since March of last season, have teams learned how to beat Alabama? Is the number out on Nate Oats’ offense? Is it time to press the panic button in terms of this Alabama Basketball team? They have the most difficult remaining strength of schedule in the country. Can they bounce back vs Kentucky on Saturday? Alabama went and beat Kentucky on their home court earlier this season. Can they do the same thing in Coleman Coliseum? An important aspect of this game will be if one of Kentucky’s most productive players, Lamont Butler, will return to the court for the Wildcats. Can Grant Nelson and Labaron Philon produce offensively like they did in the first meeting between these two teams? At the beginning of the season, there was a lot of talk about the SEC surpassing the record number of teams from one conference to make the NCAA Tournament. LSU and South Carolina have fallen off, Arkansas dropped a prime opportunity to beat Auburn to help their resume, and Texas and Oklahoma have been struggling as well.

On today’s episode of The Basketball Show, Jim Dunaway and Taylor Korn react to a historic matchup in Tuscaloosa vs No. 1 Auburn and No. 2 Alabama where the Tigers escaped with a win to remain undefeated on the road and put themselves in the drivers seat for the SEC Regular Season Title. Mark Sears seemed to struggle vs Auburn — was it just Denver Jones or can players like Aden Holloway and Labaron Philon do more to help? What do Mark Sears’ 2023-24 stats look like in comparison to his stats so far this season? How big of a role did Auburn’s defense play in the Tigers’ upsetting the Tide? Alabama struggle offensively, most of their shots being heavily contested, do they need to change their offensive identity? Even after Alabama’s loss, will the Tide remain a 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament along with Duke and (most likely) Florida? It was an emotional win for Auburn and an emotional loss for Alabama — how will both teams move forward to continue the race for the Regular Season SEC Title? Chaney Johnson has stepped up BIG TIME for Auburn as of recently — is he Auburn’s X-FACTOR? Is Denver Jones Auburn’s X-FACTOR, one of the best defensive players in College Basketball?

We’re back with another episode of The Basketball Show with Jim Dunaway and Taylor Korn! Conference play is half way over and both Auburn and Alabama remain DOMINATE in SEC play. Auburn is coming off two road wins over LSU and Ole Miss, Alabama went 2-0 with a win over Mississippi State on the road and Georgia in Coleman Coliseum. In a HISTORICALLY dominate Southeastern Conference, how many wins do you need to win the regular season title? Entering the season 13-5 was a common prediction but our predictions have changed half way through conference play. Alabama has the mid—week off, resuming play as they travel to Fayetteville to play Arkansas, who is fresh off a win over Kentucky in Rupp Arena, on Saturday. Auburn returns to the friendly confines of Neville Arena to host Oklahoma and Florida after a week consisting of back-to-back road games. Mo Dioubate has been a constant contributor for the Crimson Tide — is he the X-Factor? Chris Youngblood? Labaron Philon? Does Alabama have a turnover problem? The Crimson Tide’s 21 turnovers definitely played a part in Alabama’s only conference loss to Ole Miss — how can they get the turnovers cleaned up so it doesn’t come back to bite them in March? Auburn’s 2018-19 season was a historic one as the Tigers reached their first Final Four in program history, but this 2024-25 team just might be better.

After another week of conference play, Auburn remains undefeated in SEC play and the Tigers alongside Alabama are a perfect 4-0 on the road. In Joe Lunardi’s latest Bracketology, Auburn is the No. 1 overall seed and Alabama is the No. 2 overall seed for the NCAA Tournament. The last time two SEC teams were 1 seeds was 1980 (Kentucky and LSU). If you look back at the past 23 National Champions, they all have one thing in common: they ended the season ranked in the Top-25 of Kenpom’s adjusted defensive efficiency and the Top-40 of Kenpom’s adjusted offensive efficiency. There are currently 14 teams who fall into both of those categories. Chris Youngblood had a season high 23 points in Alabama’s last outing on the road vs Mississippi State and is starting to emerge as an X-Factor for this Alabama team. Youngblood, Aden Holloway, and Miles Kelly are our picks for most impactful newcomers in Tuscaloosa and Auburn this season. UP NEXT: We preview both the Auburn-Ole Miss and Alabama-Georgia matchups that will take place this Saturday.

Auburn and Alabama remain atop the conference after another week of SEC play! Mark Sears was held scoreless vs LSU on Saturday and didn’t see the court in the 2nd half.

The start of the season has been full of disappointment for Arkansas fans as they start 0-5 in SEC play. Auburn has now played, and won, two games without their star, Johni Broome.
