The Iron Bowl of Podcasts: Auburn-Alabama basketball is an epic encore after CFP championship
Sad about the college football season ending Monday? Don't be.
There's no better encore than the Iron Bowl of Basketball. And there's no better way to prepare for it than with the Iron Bowl of Podcasts. Bennett and Nick dive into the matchups and the macro overview of Auburn vs. Alabama, which tips off Tuesday (8 p.m., ESPN) in Tuscaloosa.
It's a golden age for this rivalry in men's basketball, as Bruce Pearl and Nate Oats lead the programs to consistent success. Auburn (14-1, 3-0 SEC) has been more spotless so far this season; Alabama (11-4, 2-1) has had its peaks and valleys, most recently a loss at Missouri. But if anything, that goes to show how hard it is to win on the road in the SEC, and Alabama will be hungry to bounce back Tuesday.
How will the Tide defend Jabari Smith? Which trigger-happy team will fire up more 3-pointers? Nick and Bennett break it down.
The Iron Bowl of Podcasts is a USA TODAY Network conversation show in which Alabama beat writer Nick Kelly and Auburn beat writer Bennett Durando debate and discuss the greatest rivalry in sports — because what else really matters to sports fans in the state of Alabama?
