For No. 2 Alabama basketball, the magic number has shrunk down to just one.

On Wednesday night, the Auburn Tigers come to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to take on the Crimson Tide inside Coleman Coliseum. While Alabama would win the SEC regular-season title with a win, there's nothing that the Tigers would enjoy more than spoiling the Crimson Tide's conference title hopes.

Win or lose, Alabama would still have the opportunity to win the conference outright in its game at Texas A&M this coming weekend. However, a win over Auburn in front of a home crowd is something that the Crimson Tide players would much prefer.

Alabama and Auburn last met back on Feb. 11 at Neville Arena, with the Crimson Tide emerging victorious with a 77-69 victory. Since that game, Alabama has gone 3-1 while Auburn has gone 2-2.

Brandon Miller led the way with 24 points, but 16 points and seven assists from Jahvon Quinerly combined with 10 points and 13 rebounds from Noah Clowney went a long way in helping the Crimson Tide stave off the Razorbacks.
