Alabama Hosts Rival Auburn Tonight (6:00 ESPNU)

[pmull]

Alabama is tied for 2nd place in the SEC at 10-4. We have won 6 of the last 8 and 10 out of the last 13. Auburn has one win in their last 12 games and it game against us. we need to put them in their place tonight.

“We’re looking forward to getting back on the court and facing our in-state rival, Auburn,” UA head coach Anthony Grant said. “Obviously we are coming off of a tough road loss in our last game, but I think our guys have been able to put that behind us and understand that we’ve got to take care of today. Our focus right now is on Auburn; the last time we played them was a very tough defeat. I felt like we got outplayed in a lot of ways and a lot of it was in the effort department, so we’ve got to refocus and understand that we’ve got to play extremely well. If you look at the series, when our two teams get together, pretty much every game has come down to the wire. Pretty much every game is a battle when our two teams get together, so we’re looking forward to the challenge.”

Alabama and Auburn will meet for the second time in 20 days when the teams square off on Tuesday night. In the first meeting between the two squads, back on Feb. 6 at Auburn Arena, the Crimson Tide were held to only 37 points in a 49-37 loss to the Tigers. It was Auburn’s only victory in its past 12 contests.

The Crimson Tide (18-9, 10-4 SEC) enters the game tied for second place in the SEC standings. Most recently, the Tide had its four-game winning streak snapped with a triple overtime 97-94 loss at LSU on Saturday. Junior guard Trevor Releford scored a career-high 36 points on 14-of-18 shooting from the floor in the losing effort. In addition, he became the school’s all-time steals leader, recording three steals in the contest. He now has 178 steals during his three-year career. Sophomore guard Rodney Cooper added 18 points and a team-high nine boards.

In the last meeting, the Tide showed early that it was the superior team. Then the inexplicable began to unfold. I would like to see a packed house tonight, rejuvenating our pre-LSU efforts and setting the tone for a run at the SEC Tourney and beyond.

I think we punch them in the nose and send them home crying for their mamma's.

You rarely see lane violations on FTs-- Gueye averaging one a game. Goofball.

[Marshal Dillon]

Well, we have missed 11 of 12 shots. The usual crappy, ugly offense for the Tide.

It was 23-13 at the half in the last game we played the Barn. Auburn is a lousy team and we should blow them away.
