Alabama Auburn.
I mean, you talk about the SEC schedule as a whole.
Look at Alabama’s last month and change.
Number one Auburn, at number 15 Missouri, at home against number 17 Kentucky, again at the time, and then at home against Mississippi State on the road at number 5 Tennessee.
At home against Florida and on the road, finishing out maybe one of the most difficult regular seasons in the most difficult place to play in the SEC at Auburn, Alabama against the number one team in the country.
That might be one of the most difficult stretches that I have seen in a very long time, but This Auburn, Alabama matchup, I mean, obviously Auburn’s already locked up the regular season, but like I mentioned earlier, Alabama still potentially can make a case for a a one seed if they finish out the regular season with wins over Florida and then at Auburn.
So that is gonna be a a battle between Auburn and Alabama at the at the end of the season, but gotta get past Florida first, and that’s no easy, that’s no easy out.
That’s a tough week.
I don’t want to be there.
Honestly, guys, like, I don’t remember the last time we were seeing this level of basketball in the last week, like.
Going into conference tournament play, it’s just, it feels like it’s, it’s all gas, no breaks, and I love it for that reason, like, but when’s, uh, maybe, maybe I’m just being short-sighted, maybe I’m, I’m forgetting last year, the year before in the same way, but man, it just feels like when was it every night you can look at it and be like, no, this matchup is gonna be epic.
Like every night leading up to this conference tournament just feels, it feels wild to me.
