TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The No. 2/2 Alabama men's basketball team has a chance to clinch the 2023 Southeastern Conference regular season title outright Wednesday night, as the Tide hosts Auburn inside Coleman Coliseum. The Crimson Tide is looking to clinch its second SEC regular season championship in the last three seasons.

The Tide enters Wednesday's game with a perfect 14-0 record at Coleman Coliseum, as UA looks for its second win over Auburn this season.

The Alabama-Auburn matchup features four of the top-20 scorers in the conference led by Alabama's Brandon Miller scoring an SEC-best 20.6 ppg in SEC games followed by Auburn's Johni Broome (No. 8, 15.3 ppg), Wendell Green Jr. (No. 10, 14.9 ppg) and Alabama's Mark Sears (No. 19, 13.3 ppg).

Should Alabama pull out the win, it would be the Tide's first undefeated home season since 2010-11 (19-0).

The Broadcast​

Wednesday's game is set for a 6 p.m. CT tipoff and will be aired on ESPN2 with Tom Hart (play-by-play) and Jimmy Dykes (analyst) on the call.

The radio broadcast can be heard on the Crimson Tide Sports Network with Chris Stewart (play-by-play), Bryan Passink (analyst) and Roger Hoover (sideline) on the call, while Tom Stipe (engineer) is turning the dials. The pregame show will begin one hour prior to tipoff.
 
Big game tonight with the SEC Title on the line. Let's get it done!
Win or lose Bama wins the SEC tonight just by playing the game. Technically, we can already celebrate the SEC regular season title.

If Bama loses tonight they'll be 15-2, A&M 14-3. If they lose to A&M Saturday they'll be 15-3, A&M finishes 15-3. Both win a shared conference title.

Weird, isn't it? Just for playing the game ...
 
I saw a tweet from UA an hour or so ago encouraging everyone to wear Crimson tonight. Having always thought basketball uniforms should be like football—love the road whites—I thought the tweet was strange.

Lo and behold ... Auburn is in white, Bama's in Crimson tonight. It's been seven or eight years since they wore Crimson at home.
