00:00Our first one versus two matchup in men's college basketball since november of 2021 the first 1v2

00:08In sec men's basketball history on saturday in tuscaloosa

00:13Between number one auburn and number two alabama if you needed any more intensity in a rivalry game the iron

00:22Basketball you had that on saturday. Also two teams battling for the top spot within the se

00:30C in auburn shows. Why are they why they are the number one team in the nation with a

00:369485 victory over the tide in tuscaloosa the tigers in underdog

00:42Winning outright as a point and a half dog against alabama already a lofty total of 174 and a half does sky over as well

00:51Yeah, I loved it. It was a great game the anticipation

00:54One verse two same state here of supremacy

00:57Bragging rights and the away team got the best of them because why they were the better basketball team on that saturday

01:02Now the best part about it is I think it was scheduled

01:04Did they already play once this year ben or is this their first game that they played?

01:07Was it the first one they end the regular season against one another on the planes?

01:12Exactly. So what I heard which I thought was even fascinating like hey get ready

01:15This is one verse two, but this could be one of possible four

01:19Matchups between these two if things go right, which means they're going to play in the regular season

01:24You hope that they play in the sec tournament and then if they get on the opposite side of the brackets

01:28It could be a perfect storm or even if they're in the same bracket could play each other a four straight time

01:32Love to see that. It's not like a one and done. We won't see it again

01:35We could see this four more times over what ben the next five total weeks, which would be awesome to let it play out

01:40But also let me ask you this question, too

01:42Did I see this right because you know me and I get upset in college football season where we have that fake show

01:48That shows where these teams are ranked when it means absolutely nothing with weeks left to play. We actually had a similar

01:56Bracketology show that showed where these play and did you watch that?

02:00What's the need college bet that somebody seems got eight or nine games left in their season and the conference tournament and selection sunday

02:06Why do we need this?

02:08It's a sneak peek if you will to understand the committee's thoughts on how they are seeing

02:14The college basketball season it is a made for television event drs

02:19Where bubba cunningham who's the ad at north carolina literally came on and said a lot of basketball

02:25Left to be played and bubba is correct

02:27But it gives you an early preview of what the selection committee is looking at and there's a couple of notable things like for instance

02:35A and m was the sixth overall seed on the two line

02:39It goes to show the committee values texas and m's large wins this year both in non-conference play and in the sec

02:46I think it speaks to the strength of the sec as well three of the four one seeds were from the southeastern conference

02:53including auburn and alabama entering saturday as the top two overall seeds in

03:00The bracket if you will duke the only other team not from the sec

03:05To earn a one seed florida the fourth and final team on the one line drs from the actual game that we saw

03:12inside coleman coliseum on saturday

03:15What a performance by auburn and I think it shows the depth of this auburn team

03:21Three guys off the bench and bruce pearl has the luxury of playing guys that would start basically everywhere else off the bench cheney

03:28Johnson chad baker mazara who's one of the emotional leaders of this auburn team and tahad pediford

03:34That basically every time he is on the floor

03:37He is making the correct decision all guys scoring at least 13 points off the bench and then you have jennai broom

03:441914 and six showing why he is in consideration to win the wooden award this year

03:50Yeah, and it always used to like and again in college basketball throughout history

03:54You just have that top dog here you lose your top dog

03:56Probably not going to win a championship not granted if broom goes down probably winning a national championship might be off there

04:01But the fact that you have so many players that can step up in big moments like ben

04:04This wasn't a hey, we're gonna play radford in december and boy

04:08Did you see three guys off the bench get double digits?

04:10You're talking about the number two team you're playing in their own building where that crowd was ready for anything and that come back

04:15In the second half had everybody on the tips of their toes and still you're able to get through that

04:20I loved what I saw to auburn and if you're talking about depth

04:23That's what the ncwh winnerman is about how many times you turn on a game and oh no

04:26Our starters are in foul trouble three guys off the bench with double digits. Come on now
