The most anticipated game of the year in college basketball is finally here. The Iron Bowl of Basketball, Alabama vs. Auburn, playing for much more than simply in-state bragging rights.

When you look at the AP and Coaches polls, this is a battle between two No. 1 teams. Auburn is No. 1 in the AP Poll with a 22-2 record on the year, while Alabama is No. 1 in the Coaches Poll, with a season-long record of 21-3.

These two teams have been on a collision course throughout the season. They each currently hold a 10-1 record in league play, tied for first place with a minimum 2-game lead on the rest of the conference.

The game will easily be the biggest matchup in the history of the rivalry, only the fifth-ever meeting between the two programs as ranked teams and the first-ever meeting with both inside the top-5, top-10, or top-15. It’s also the biggest regular season game in Coleman Coliseum’s storied history, and will be the second-ever time College GameDay comes to Tuscaloosa.

Nate Oats and Bruce Pearl have taken their programs to incredible new heights and reinvigorated a love for basketball in the state of Alabama. During each of their tenures, they’ve combined to win four SEC regular season titles, four SEC Tournaments, and made two Final Fours.

Oats is 6-4 against Auburn in his Alabama career, including a 3-1 record at home.
