Auburn vs. Alabama: A Historic No. 1 vs. No. 2 Showdown in College Basketball
Alright, college basketball fans, buckle up—because history is about to be made! For the first time ever, Auburn and Alabama are meeting in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown—not just in basketball, but in any sport. That's right. Despite all the legendary Iron Bowl battles on the football field, these two programs have never faced off as the top two teams in the country. But here we are, with Auburn sitting at No. 1 and Alabama at No. 2, setting the stage for what could be the game of the season.
Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. ET at Coleman Coliseum, and you can feel the excitement building. This isn't just another big SEC matchup—this is a game that defines eras, a game that proves just how far these two basketball programs have come under Bruce Pearl and Nate Oats.

Let’s talk about Auburn first. The Tigers have been on an absolute tear this season, with Johni Broome leading the charge. Coming off a solid performance against Vanderbilt, Auburn has shown they’re not just a football school anymore—they’re a powerhouse in basketball, too. And then there’s Alabama. Jarin Stevenson has been lights out for the Crimson Tide, dropping 22 points in their last game against Texas. This Alabama team is dangerous, and with the home crowd behind them, they’ll be looking to make a statement.
What makes this game even more special is how unexpected it is. Think about it—Auburn and Alabama have never even met as the top two teams in football. The closest we got was in 2013 with the legendary "Kick Six" game, when No. 4 Auburn stunned No. 1 Alabama in one of the greatest moments in college football history. But this? This is uncharted territory.
And let’s be real—who would’ve thought even a decade ago that we'd be talking about Auburn and Alabama in the same breath as Duke and North Carolina when it comes to elite college basketball matchups? This is a testament to what Pearl and Oats have built. These teams play fast, they score in bunches, and they’ve made Auburn vs. Alabama a must-watch event in college hoops.
So, here we go—Auburn, Alabama, No. 1 vs. No. 2, on the biggest stage. The hype is real, and this game has all the makings of an instant classic. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just love a good sports moment, this is one you don’t want to miss.
