No. 16 Alabama basketball will play its 31st and final game of the regular season on Saturday, March 7, at home against Auburn.

The Crimson Tide's eight-game win streak was spoiled by Georgia on Tuesday evening, and Alabama aims to end the regular season on a high note by sweeping both meetings of the 2026 Iron Bowl of Basketball.

Should Alabama win on Saturday or if Arkansas loses to Missouri, the Tide will get the No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament. If Alabama loses to Auburn and Arkansas beats Missouri, then the Capstone will get the No. 3 seed.

Can head coach Nate Oats and company get the job done on Senior Night?

Series: Alabama leads 102-69, with the first matchup occurring on Feb. 28, 1924. The Crimson Tide is 60-21 at home against the Tigers.

Last Meeting: The Crimson Tide took down Auburn 96-92 on the road on Feb. 7. It was the first time since 2011-12 that Alabama had back-to-back wins in Neville Arena. The Crimson Tide erased a 10-point first-half deficit thanks to the double-digit scoring efforts of four players. Labaron Philon once again led the Crimson Tide in scoring with 25 points, helping him earn the Co-SEC Player of the Weekaward two days later. Freshman Amari Allen tallied 17, Aden Holloway, a former Auburn player, logged 15 as part of a late spurt and Charles Bediako put up 12. Bediako lost his injunction hearing on Feb. 9 and will not be eligible for the regular-season finale.

Last time out, Alabama: The Crimson Tide fell to Georgia 98-88 on the road on March 3, ending Alabama's eight-game win streak. The Bulldogs bit UA down low, as they finished the game with 40 points in the paint compared to the Tide's 18. Georgia put up 25 second-chance points, while Alabama tallied nine. Philon and Latrell Wrightsell Jr. combined for 45 points, but it wasn't enough compared to Georgia's Kanon Catchings' 32 by himself. Oats and company would've locked up the No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament had they won, but now Alabama must fight for it on Saturday night.

Last time out, Auburn: AU beat LSU 88-74 at home on March 3. Tahaad Pettiford led the way with team highs in points (27), assists (6) and steals (4). Kevin Overton (21 points), Keyshawn Hall (17) and Elyjah Freeman (10) also finished in double figures, as the latter two tied for the team high in rebounds with six apiece. While the shooting splits between these two Tiger teams were very similar, the same could not be said for the turnover margin. LSU turned the ball over 16 times compared to Auburn's nine. Auburn had 13 steals, while LSU had seven.
