Johni Broome and his Auburn teammates were seen celebrating Tennessee's buzzer-beater against Alabama basketball on social media this weekend.
College basketball in the SEC has delivered day after day in 2024-25, and Saturday was no different. No. 6-ranked Alabama basketball and No. 5 Tennessee went back and forth in Knoxville with critical seeding implications on the line in both the SEC and NCAA Tournaments.
Shortly after winning the regular season title, the Tigers went ballistic while watching Tennessee's game-winning buzzer-beater against the Crimson Tide.
The head coaches of the Tennessee Vols and Alabama are set to speak after the game on Saturday. Tennessee won the game, 79 to 76. Vols head coach Rick Barnes and Crimson Tide head coach Nate Oats are set to speak at approximately 6:30.
Alabama men’s basketball hasn’t done much to inspire confidence of late. The Crimson Tide has lost its last two games and four of the past six, the latest being a 99-94 loss to No. 5 Florida on Wednesday at Coleman Coliseum. Nate Oats was asked how concerned he is about Alabama (23-7, 12-5 SEC) after the recent losses.
Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nate Oats made a very honest admission after the dying-seconds defeat against the Tennessee Volunteers.
