GAME THREAD: No. 2 Alabama basketball vs. Auburn

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Auburn 66, Alabama 54 | 8:58, H2

A Jahvon Quinerly 3 brings some life back to the Alabama fans, but the Crimson Tide still has a ways to climb if it is cutting down the nets tonight.

The elephants are coming . . .

 

[TideFever]

And now that we're getting warm we get stupid and let them goad us into a dumb situation.

 

[StablerCountry]

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.

You could be right. Depends on margin of victory for Auburn @ Bama IMO.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Charles Bediako and Rylan Griffen have been ejected for illegal participation. They left the bench when things got heated on the floor.

 

[TideFever]

Good grief.

We couldn't have been dumber. We (JQ) let Green and Johnson almost get the whole team ejected.

The officials probably feel like they had to throw half our team out due to a rule that's pretty clear. Can't leave the bench when an altercation is going on.

This yeams just continues to prove its immaturity! Undisciplined acts continue!

JQ has nothing to do with CB and Griffin making the dumb decision to run out there when they saw what was happening. That’s on them.

They also continue to prove they have heart and fight.

Auburn 68, Alabama 67 | 3:19, H2

Alabama is on an 18-2 run in what would be a comeback for the ages.

 

[TideFever]

We have to finish this strong. No bad turnovers and no weak fouls.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Jahvon Quinerly hits two free throws to put Alabama up 75-73 with 1:37 remaining. That's the Crimson Tide's first lead.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama 75, Auburn 75 | 0:45.7, H2

Alabama's ball after the break. Jahvon Quinerly has a season-high 24 points for the Crimson Tide.

 

[TideFever]

Wish Sears would have worked with Bradley there instead of a pull up 3. Just a layup to go up 4 would have been huge.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

End of regulation: Alabama 75, Auburn 75

Alabama was down 66-49 with 10:27 to play.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

He almost made that, and if he had the game was over. I don't mind that shot at all if I'm Alabama.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Great comeback, wish Bama would have gotten a better shot on that last possession. Time to put them away in OT.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Same, that was a good shot.

 

[jmillerbama]

Probably the dumbest 3 pointer of the entire season! Up two with a fast break one on one, either a layup or foul most likely instead you let the tie the game!

 

[jmillerbama]

They also continue to prove they have heart and fight.

This is true also

 

[aggietider]

I don’t remember the last guy that rebounded his own shot as much as Miller.

 

[jmillerbama]

Come on BAMA CLOSE THE DOOR BABY!

 

[TideFever]

I swear it feels like Johnson has been there a decade. He has to be done with eligibility after this season. Same for Flannigan.

 

[cola68]

Auburn played nearly perfect

Bama is still going to win the SEC

Hell yes!!

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Final: No. 2 Alabama 90, Auburn 85 (OT)

Alabama (26-4, 16-1) clinches its second SEC regular-season title in three years. The Crimson Tide will wrap up the regular season on Saturday at Texas A&M before heading into the conference tournament as the No. 1 seed.

 

[TideFever]

Finally! A sweep and a SEC title.

At least we earned it the way we had to fight back in this one.

 

[StablerCountry]

That was a comeback for the ages.

They saying the same thing about JQ.

Bama cutting down them nets after all. I would not have believed it when down by 17 with about 10 minutes to play.

 

[jmillerbama]

Great come back Bama! Time to get hot from 3 again for March! Hopefully this isnt the last time we are cutting down the nets this year! Roll Tide Roll!

 

[TideFever]

They saying the same thing about JQ.

LOL JQ is on the 7 year plan and getting to play ball while doing it. Redshirt year, sit out year while transferring, covid year, 5 years of actual playing ball.

Assuming he wants that year next year.

 

[MobileBama]

Did we just secure a spot in Birmingham with that win?

 

[TideFever]

Did we just secure a spot in Birmingham with that win?

Possibly, but IMO we need to finish the regular season with a win on Sat. It needs to be a foregone conclusion that we'll be a 1 seed and get to stay home in the South region. Lose ugly at A&M and we might have to do some work to get to go where we want to go.

Bama fans should never trust a selection committee to get us what most think we should get. We've been screwed too many times. So IMO take the decision part out of it and just make them put us there.

 

[pwestbro61]

Did we just secure a spot in Birmingham with that win?

Yes. Unbelievable comeback. Give the kids a ton of credit. They have been put in a ridiculously bad situation due to some bad decision and leadership. Wow- unreal.
