BOL Basketball Show: Previewing historic Alabama-Auburn matchup
The Alabama men’s basketball team has won seven straight games, most recently claiming back-to-back wins away from Tuscaloosa over Arkansas (85-81) and Texas (103-80).
The Crimson Tide held on to defeat the Hogs in Fayetteville before raining threes in Austin this week. UA shot nearly 60 percent from 3-point range versus the Longhorns and saw four players make three or more triples, including a career night for Jarin Stevenson (22 points).
Alabama (21-3, 10-1 SEC) avoided having a letdown before one of the biggest home games in school history. Ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25 Poll this week, the Tide will welcome top-ranked Auburn to Coleman Coliseum on Saturday, February 15 (3 p.m. CT on ESPN). It will be the first meeting between SEC teams ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in both of the national polls.
