There was a lot on the line when Auburn and Alabama rounded out their regular seasons against one another in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night. Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide needed a win to lock up the No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament. Meanwhile, Steven Pearl’s Tigers were searching for their first victory of substance in over a month to improve their NCAA Tournament resume.
The two teams entered action heading in polar opposite directions (Alabama was 8-1 in its last 9 games; Auburn was 2-7). Their respective trends continued, thanks to the Crimson Tide trouncing the Tigers 96-84 in a game that wasn’t as close as that score indicated. Afterward, some emotion boiled over as Amari Allen and Kevin Overton traded words in the postgame handshake line.

— Alabama Crimson Tide | AL.com (@aldotcomTide) March 8, 2026It’s clear that something Allen said struck a chord with Overton, whose visceral response is indicative of how people across the college basketball landscape feel about Auburn still being on the NCAA Tournament bubble with a 16-15 record.
Regardless, Auburn cannot afford to be one-and-done at the SEC Tournament. A loss to Mississippi State (3:00 p.m. E.T., SEC Network) on Wednesday would knock them out of tournament contention.
