SEC Basketball Breakdown with SEC Network's Richard Hendrix | Alabama, Auburn, Vanderbilt & Arkansas Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

SEC hoops is heating up 🔥 and SEC Network analyst Richard Hendrix joins The Next Round to break down everything happening across SEC Basketball as conference play ramps up.

In this episode, we dive deep into Alabama’s loss at Vanderbilt — are the undefeated Commodores for real, and what must Nate Oats’ Crimson Tide fix to bounce back quickly? We also react to Auburn’s stunning buzzer-beater loss to Texas A&M, what it means for Steven Pearl’s Tigers, and whether it’s a wake-up call moving forward.

Richard also weighs in on some of the biggest early-season questions in the SEC:

Which 0-2 SEC team can still turn things around and make the NCAA Tournament?

Which 2-0 team has surprised him the most so far?

And just how high does Arkansas freshman Darius Acuff Jr. rank among the best players in the SEC right now?

If you’re a fan of SEC Basketball, or college hoops in general, this is a must-watch conversation packed with insight, analysis, and strong opinions from one of the best in the game.

Rose Bowl Reality Check: Alabama’s Loss, Ty Simpson Goes Pro & Portal Chaos | Bama and Bourbon Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles from Yea Alabama break down the end of Alabama’s 2025 campaign. The guys recap Alabama’s season-ending loss to Indiana in the Rose Bowl in the College Football Playoff, what went wrong for the Crimson Tide, and what the game revealed about the direction of the program.

Lance and Aaron also discuss Ty Simpson’s decision to go pro, what it means for Alabama’s quarterback room, and dive head-first into the lunacy of the transfer portal — from roster turnover and NIL chaos to how Kalen DeBoer and the Tide can navigate the new college football landscape moving forward.

As always, the conversation is paired with a quality pour. This week’s bourbon is Kentucky Vintage, a classic bottle that fits perfectly with reflection, big-picture discussion, and offseason talk. The guys share tasting notes and why it’s a solid choice for football fans and bourbon enthusiasts alike.

🥃 If you’re an Alabama Football fan or love talking college football over a good bourbon, this episode is for you.

👉 Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to The Next Round YouTube channel for more episodes of Bama and Bourbon, where Crimson Tide analysis and bourbon appreciation meet every week — in season and beyond.

On3 Sports and ESPN’s Josh Pate joined us for a wide-ranging, in-depth conversation on everything happening across college football as the College Football Playoff takes center stage.

Josh breaks down the future of the College Football Playoff format and what changes could be coming as the sport continues to evolve. We dive into Miami’s progression throughout the season, including whether Mario Cristobal has finally shaken the reputation of costly in-game coaching mistakes.

Of course, no college football conversation is complete without Alabama. Josh analyzes what’s ailing the Crimson Tide, why the margin for error feels slimmer than ever, and what needs to change moving forward. We also preview the College Football Playoff semifinal matchup between Oregon and Indiana, examining whether the Ducks have a realistic path to victory against the Hoosiers.

If you’re a fan of college football, the SEC, Big Ten, Alabama, Ole Miss, Miami, Oregon, Indiana, or the College Football Playoff, this is a must-watch conversation packed with insight, analysis, and strong opinions.

Show notes

Josh Pate joins the show and talks college football

Alabama Football picks up an offensive lineman, a position of need for the Crimson Tide. Alabama also has some stars that will be sticking around for another season in Tuscaloosa. We look at show signed up for more time with the Tide.

LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin may find himself in the middle of a transfer portal controversy involving Washington Huskies Demond Williams.

Is Kiffin in the crosshairs of the Big 10?

As that drama was unfolding, former Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt was court-side with Kiffin for a an official visit to LSU. Which QB is the better player?

Why do Notre Dame Fighting Irish QBs suck so bad in the NFL? Notre Dame signal callers are on the wrong end of a terrible stat.
