Another slow start for Alabama. This is a habit the Crimson Tide will need to cut out if it wants to make a tournament run.
Auburn 23, Alabama 14 | 7:25, H1
Auburn is on a 7-0 run, and Alabama hasn't made a FG in 3:36. The Crimson Tide is 1 of 8 from deep.

So once again, no one can hit a three while the opponent (who is not a three shooting team) keeps knocking them down.
On a ring championship night at home versus Auburn and this is the team that shows up? I just don't get it.
Game is far from over. Brandon Miller has been nonexistent. He will improve
Auburn 29, Alabama 23 | 3:50, H1
Brandon Miller has just 2 points on 0-for-3 shooting, but he came up with a nice block on Johni Broome.

Like I said...we have a great opportunity there when Sears missed the open three. Instead, Barn hits a three. 6 pt swing in mere seconds.
Its a ring night at home. This team is going backwards last three games. Now they have to pull out the 3rd game in a row from trailing at half time. They are a 2nd half team which is good, but this team has definitely went backwards in last week and a half. Not playing near the January and early February level they played at.
Got to hope Auburn goes cold at three point line 2nd half.

Worst defensive effort since last first half versus arky.
I’m picking out Bama’s star here ..Brandon was awful on three picks …. Where AU scored three buckets in a row.
So much on this SEC game to come out flat like this.
I hope the team bows up and plays defense with more pride this half.
They need a good @ss chewing and go out and win the SEC tonight !!

AU played well. No doubt.
Bama’s defense was terrible … gave up 40 points.
This game is for the sec champ… play with your hair on fire on defense and move on offense.
Auburn 52, Alabama 44 | 15:52, H2
After Alabama tied the game at 42, Auburn pulled back ahead with a 10-2 run.

If Bama wants to win this game they need to start now. I expected a better team to show up tonight.
Completely distracted. Just a ridiculous effort with what is on the line.
Play like they have the last 3 games and they will not make it past the first weekend of tourney. Top seed or not.
Sad and pathetic. All this off the court crap is going to ruin the end of this season.

Pearl has us figured out and they're hitting shots they haven't hit in over a month. They're playing like lives depend on it and we're playing like this is a quick warm up or something.
Going to lose if we don't pick up the energy a few notches and stop bricking wide open looks.
If we're just hitting our wide open shots its at worst a 4 point deficit. Instead they're in position to blow us out of our own gym. On a night we wanted to cut nets down.
Seems like the team was like fans were today. "Oh they suck on the road, we'll win BIG" "They're really hurting it will be over early".
smh
This whole team showed up with the attitude that the barn would just let us walk over them.
The barn was convinced they had us in their gym but ran out of gas late.

They will lose that number 1 seeding tonight also. But if they don't play games no better than this, I guess it does not matter anyway.
No they won’t, they will lose it if they drop this and also drop the A&M game. But this will just drop them from the #1 or 2 overall seed to the 4th.
