How to watch, listen to No. 2 Alabama vs. No. 1 Auburn
The most anticipated game of the year in college basketball is finally here. The Iron Bowl of Basketball, Alabama vs. Auburn, playing for much more than simply in-state bragging rights.
When you look at the AP and Coaches polls, this is a battle between two No. 1 teams. Auburn is No. 1 in the AP Poll with a 22-2 record on the year, while Alabama is No. 1 in the Coaches Poll, with a season-long record of 21-3.
These two teams have been on a collision course throughout the season. They each currently hold a 10-1 record in league play, tied for first place with a minimum 2-game lead on the rest of the conference.
The game will easily be the biggest matchup in the history of the rivalry, only the fifth-ever meeting between the two programs as ranked teams and the first-ever meeting with both inside the top-5, top-10, or top-15. It’s also the biggest regular season game in Coleman Coliseum’s storied history, and will be the second-ever time College GameDay comes to Tuscaloosa.
Nate Oats and Bruce Pearl have taken their programs to incredible new heights and reinvigorated a love for basketball in the state of Alabama. During each of their tenures, they’ve combined to win four SEC regular season titles, four SEC Tournaments, and made two Final Fours.
