The opening act of the new Avery Johnson-Bruce Pearl rivalry begins, as the Crimson Tide hit the road to visit their lovely rivals from across the state. The Auburn Tigers are coming off of their biggest win of the Pearl era, and the crowd will be rocking in Auburn Arena. The Tide still have hopes of a surprise NCAA Tournament run, but a loss in this one would do some serious damage to those plans.
The game will tip off at 8:00 PM CST and will be televised by the SEC Network.
