Antoine Davis needs 26 points tonight to break the once seemingly untouchable NCAA career scoring record of Pistol Pete Maravich. He averages over 28 ppg, so a normal game from him will be enough to surpass that mark. He is the son of former Bama star Mike Davis, so that gives his quest a little local flavor. I was a big Pistol Pete fan, but I'll be pulling for Antoine tonight.

son have any more games?

6-8 power forward jonathan calcedo from hoover play? he is in the class of 2023. wondered if he is good enough to take a chance on. thanks for any info.

Three weeks ago, Auburn was solidly in the NCAA field; however, many losses later the Barn , according to Joe Lunardi sits on line number eleven as one of the last five teams in the field with a road game in Tuscaloosa and a home game against Tennesee in front of them. I would submit that the Barn has to win both games or they could easily end up in the NIT, hosting a game on the Plains. At the same time as the Barn sits on the 11 line, Miss State is one place back with games remaining against South Carolina and at Vanderbilt. Miss State cannot afford to lose either game.

In short, today I would not want to be Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers. There back is clearly against the wall and they need a win tomorrow, just as we need a win on senior night for the SEC Title.

Just for information Jerry Palm has the Barn on the 10th line.

q, come on back clowney, and come on in parker. t-town is fun when it`s rocking. roll tide.

That West Ga. bunch has really been playing bad of late, but they have some good basketball players and a pretty good basketball team. They are capable of rising up and playing really good at times. l'm afraid tonight may be one of those nights.

Hope l'm wrong of course and l know we will have a great crowd with great fan support.

Gotta be ready.
ROLL TIDE

I need a break.. maybe a drink... probably both. What an incredible game by both Alabama and Auburn. Auburn played the best it has all year shooting 12-20 from 3 and just could not miss for 30 minutes of the game. Then the final 10 minutes happened. Alabama was down by 17 with 10 minutes to go in the game and a little skirmish fired up the Tide in route to tying the game and forcing OT. In OT, Alabama made their free throws and made clutch shots to go on a 5-0 run quickly out the gate. Auburn tried to make it interesting, but they could not hit clutch shots down the stretch to give them the win. What a game.

There is a lot to digest with this game, primarily Alabama's poor shooting, 14 turnovers, and not being aggressive early on in the game. I thought Alabama played pretty good defense all night, but Auburn just kept making tough shot after tough shot, which is not what they typically do.

This was the Jahvon Quinerly game. If that was his last game in Coleman Coliseum, then he went out with a bang. He scored 24 points with 6 assists and 3 steals and looked like vintage JQ in that game. With Bradley struggling recently, JQ has really picked up the slack and become that second go-to scorer that Alabama has been needing. Mark Sears also had a solid game, outside off the final minute, but finished with 17 points. Brandon Miller and Noah Clowney each pitched in 17 as well, but Miller shot the ball rather ineffectively being 3-12 from the field and 1-6 from 3.

Alabama has not played great the past 3 games, but found ways to win. This team has been so tough and resilient all season and have showed different ways to win down the stretch. That is a good omen come NCAA Tournament time. There are atleast two games remaining including A&M and the SEC Tournament, so these games will need to be tune up games for some of the guys like Bradley, Burnett, Griffen, and Sears to get back on track.

Alabama is SEC Regular Season Champions for the 2nd time in the past 3 years.

Former Alabama defensive back Brian Branch is hoping to follow in Minkah Fitzpatrick’s footsteps in the NFL.

How many of you have bought your Thursday and Saturday tickets? Damn they’re expensive but looking forward to watching a bunch of NCAA tournament basketball close to home.

Alabama is SEC Regular Season Champions for the 2nd time in the past 3 years.

Williams plans on visiting Bama, Auburn, and UGA this spring. Update on Rivals:

Opening Statement…

“Big night tonight for us. It was the Auburn-Alabama we expect it to be. It was a great game, Bruce (Pearl) had his guys ready to go. To be down 17 with just over 10 minutes to go in the game, I couldn’t be more proud of our guys. Second SEC Championship in three years here. It was really special tonight to do it in front of our fans. I mean they were great tonight I really want to thank our fans for all their support. They brought the energy I thought to our run in the second half. We achieved a lot this year. I mean shoot we just swept our in-state rival which is a big deal around here. We went undefeated at home. It's not easy to do. We still got things we want to accomplish ahead of us. The guys have worked hard and I'm super proud of them.”

Benny’s Breakdown: Rivalry games always have extra pomp and circumstance around them, but the chance for Alabama to become the outright regular-season champions with a win over Auburn, sent the crowd at Coleman Coliseum into a frenzy. It was the first celebration the team hopes will come with two more during March, but it can’t be overstated how important it was for Alabama to accomplish this goal at home. Wednesday’s win makes Alabama a perfect 14-0 at home this season. Despite a bevy of close games, the Crimson Tide took care of business at home, something Nate Oats has harped on all season long.

On what it was like to celebrate the regular-season title at home…

“These fans have been great since we've got here. I was really happy we were able to win this thing outright and do the celebration in Coleman. Winning it two years ago was great, but you're on the road in a COVID environment at Mississippi State. Tonight was special and we talked about it before the game. At the under-8:00 timeout, I said ‘We need to play a little harder. We’re not losing this game because we didn't play hard enough to win it. Our guys came out and played harder, so it was special to do it here in Coleman.”

Benny’s Breakdown: With an undefeated record at home, Alabama could have let the opportunity to celebrate a championship on its own floor slip away thanks to a sub-par start. If it wasn’t for the 24-7 run to give Alabama its first lead of the game, Auburn shot the ball well enough and stymied the Crimson Tide offense to the point where it deserved the win. Thanks to Jahvon Quinerly, Mark Sears and Noah Clowney, Alabama was able to hold on like a heavyweight prizefighter finding its balance on the ropes. It wasn’t pretty, but it was gritty and that’s what Alabama is going to need going forward.

On Jahvon Quinerly’s play…

“I can't be more proud of JQ. I told the team we're getting the March version of JQ. He's definitely the X-factor. He's played great for us, particularly in the second half of the last two games. He's obviously really talented, you look at his line tonight, he ended up with 24 points, six assists, not one turnover and led the team in plus/minus with a +16. He really got locked in on the defensive end. He knows how to win and he's making a lot of winning plays on both sides of the ball for us."

Benny’s Breakdown: Speaking of gritty performances, Jahvon Quinerly has embodied that over the past week. If it wasn’t for his second-half performances against Arkansas and Auburn, Alabama wouldn’t have a perfect home record. Plus it would need a win at Texas A&M if it wanted to be outright regular-season champions. Thankfully for Alabama, Quinerly has found that extra gear he showed last season before his ACL injury. Over the last two games, the senior averaged 20 points and 6.5 assists which is exactly what the doctor ordered for an Alabama offense that at times looked like it's been on life-support.

On what it’s like to win the title after the past two weeks…

“Listen I just couldn't be more proud of this group, to be honest. Obviously, it's a heartbreaking situation that's never lost on us, but the kids have worked really hard. Winning in the SEC is not an easy thing to do, I mean look at the teams in this league. It’s a great league. And I just can’t tell you how proud I am of this group.”

Benny’s Breakdown: While there’s been ample criticism towards Oats and the rest of Alabama for the way the last two weeks have gone, if there’s anything that’s also come to light is that nothing can prepare a team for a capital murder case including multiple teammates. The Crimson Tide know it won’t be able to turn off the national spotlight that’s burning into its program, but a brief diversion is welcomed. Brandon Miller arguably needed it the most and delivered an impressive 17 points after a terrible shooting performance. For 24 hours at least the outside noise fades slightly for a team that was desperate for something positive.

will choose between bama, villanova, ucf, and missouri on march 3rd.

Could our poor 3 point shooting over the last couple of games be because we have "dead legs" due to the grind of a long season? If it is I hope a few days off before the tournament will help. We need to be firing on all cylinders going forward.

is a 6-4 shooting guard at hoover in the 2025 class. i think he is tarik london`s son so that should help recruiting him.

Looks like he may have some issues with the fatal car crash recently. They are saying he was racing the other car and he left the scene and has lied to police about it.

Panties in a wad…

I’ve supported this team but we are a bunch of thugs. Brandon Miller does nothing to help his image. JQ is a thug

I mean yea he has had to put his foot in his mouth a few times, but come on.

Leading Indiana St 5-4 in 3rd inning. Could not be more obvious there is NO reliable #2 pitcher behind Fouts.
Expect every game she does not pitch to be a complete adventure.
Team also has committed 4 errors in just 2 innings.

Maybe FSU and Clemson jump ship?
