Auburn Stuns Alabama 94-85 in Historic SEC Showdown
Wow, what a game! Auburn and Alabama just delivered a showdown for the ages, and it was Auburn who came out on top, taking down Alabama 94-85 in what will be remembered as a historic SEC battle. This wasn’t just any rivalry game—this was the first time in SEC history that a No. 1 team faced a No. 2 team in the league. And let me tell you, it lived up to the hype!
Going into the game, Alabama had the home-court advantage, playing in front of their crowd at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa. But guess what? That didn’t seem to help them at all. Auburn came in with confidence, took control early, and never let Alabama take the lead—not even once. That’s right, Alabama never led in this game, a rare sight for a team that has been dominant all season. In fact, this was the first time all year that Alabama head coach Nate Oats had to take his team into the locker room at halftime trailing on the scoreboard.

Auburn’s Johni Broome was a force to be reckoned with, putting up 19 points, grabbing 14 rebounds, and making key plays on both ends of the floor. But it wasn’t just him—Auburn had five players scoring in double figures, making it a true team effort. On the Alabama side, Mark Sears did his best to keep the Crimson Tide in the fight with 18 points, and Grant Nelson contributed with a solid 12-point, 12-rebound performance. Alabama tried to rally late, cutting into a double-digit lead in the second half, but Auburn held firm and shut down any hopes of a comeback.
This win was huge for Auburn, who now moves to 23-2 on the season and strengthens their grip as the No. 1 team in the country. Even after a tough loss to Florida recently, the Tigers are proving why they deserve that top spot. As for Alabama, they now sit at 21-4, still in great shape, but this loss stings, especially considering the history and intensity of this rivalry.
Oh, and if you needed any more proof of how much this win meant to Auburn fans, just take a look at Toomer’s Corner. Hundreds of fans flooded the streets, rolling trees with toilet paper in classic Auburn fashion, celebrating a victory that will go down in history.
At the end of the day, this game had everything—intensity, drama, standout performances, and of course, a little bit of SEC history.
