What to know: It’s not very often that you get bitter rivals sitting as the top two teams in the country. It’s even less often that you get to see them face off live on national television in conference play. In fact, this will be the first 1-2 matchup in SEC history and only the sixth time since the creation of the AP poll that a 1-2 game features teams from the same state.


Both teams are coming off of massive wins and are playing their best basketball of the season. The No. 1 seed in the SEC standing is on the line — so is the no. 1 ranking in the country. The teams will meet in Tuscaloosa, and the arena might actually experience some roof damage from the amount of sound coming out.


No, seriously, there may be roof damage. The state of Alabama is expected to get severe storms, including tornadoes and damaging winds with gusts up to 60 mph. So if you thought this game couldn’t get any crazier, you thought wrong.

Alabama boasts their veteran star Mark Sears, while Auburn will ride AP Player of the Year finalist Johni Broome into opponent territory.


As for who’ll win? Man, I have NO idea. I always like the home team is these kinds of situations, but Auburn is just so dang good. The basketball Iron Bowl will not disappoint.
