The wait is over for Alabama basketball fans.

No. 2 Auburn is in Tuscaloosa to face the No. 1 Crimson Tide in a historic showdown. Never before in the existence of the SEC have two member teams faced off as the top two in the country.

Coach Nate Oats said this weekend was more than “bragging rights” for the rivals.

Who comes out on top in Coleman Coliseum for the first game of this season’s Iron Bowl series could very well win the regular season for the SEC, or the tournament. It might even foreshadow this year’s national champion.
