TNR 3/9/26 - Hour 1 | Alabama EMBARRASSED Auburn, Tide Now a Three? Mar 09, 2026

Show notes

The Alabama Crimson Tide started spring football Sunday in Tuscaloosa. What excites you most about this version of Alabama Football?

The Auburn Tigers visit to the Alabama Crimson Tide went about as bad as it could for Auburn Basketball and as well as it could for Alabama Basketball Saturday night. The Tide steamrolled The Tigers early and coasted to a 96-84 win.

The situation for Auburn is much more dire. The Tigers are now 16-15 overall and 7-11 in SEC play. They are the 12-seed in the SEC Tournament this week and squarely on the Bubble. By—some suggest Auburn must sweep the whole event to get in the Tournament, do we agree? Is there any way this version of Auburn can pull that off?

TNR 3/6/26 - Hour 3 | Auburn at Alabama: Auburn’s Last Shot? Alabama’s Seeding Ceiling Mar 06, 2026

Show notes

Bowl ties going away?

New assistants in college football making big impacts

The Auburn Tigers visit the Alabama Crimson Tide Tomorrow in the final SEC regular season game. The importance of a win for Auburn Basketball can’t be overstated. The Tigers are in desperate need of resume helping wins and Alabama would be a Q1 win for the Tigers and a potential “ticket puncher”.

For Alabama Basketball, it is now all about seeding. The Tide is locked into a SEC Tournament Double Bye and can lock the 2-Seed in Nashville with a win. They can also continue to build their NCAA Tournament seeding with most projections having Alabama as a 4-Seed with an outside shot of reaching a 3-Seed.

ESPN’s Joe Lunardi (and others) will have their latest Bracketology, what does it tell us about the importance of this game.

Alabama Basketball NCAA Tournament Outlook: Can Nate Oats’ Tide Make Another Deep March Run? Mar 06, 2026

Show notes

Alabama Basketball is once again in the NCAA Tournament conversation, but how far can Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide really go in March? In this video, we break down Alabama’s current tournament outlook, why many experts see the Tide as a 3-seed or 4-seed, and what it will take for this team to make another Sweet 16 run — or even more. We discuss Alabama’s national standing as a top-16 caliber team, the importance of this weekend’s showdown with Auburn for seeding, and why this game could have major March implications. We also dive into the biggest strengths and weaknesses for this Alabama team, including their elite scoring ability, three-point-heavy style, and the biggest concern of all: rebounding and frontcourt play. Can Alabama overcome its issues on the glass? Is Aiden Sherrell the answer in the post? And can Nate Oats lead the Tide to another deep NCAA Tournament run? This is a full Alabama Basketball NCAA Tournament breakdown you do not want to miss. #AlabamaBasketball #RollTide #NCAATournament #MarchMadness #NateOats #SECBasketball #CollegeBasketball SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/c-7759604 FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive 267,216 Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com
