SEC's best defense, Alabama, faces SEC's worst, Auburn

It's the Iron Bowl of men's basketball today. Here's how my game advance starts:

AUBURN, Ala. — A professed basketball junkie, Auburn coach Jeff Lebo has a strong knowledge of first-year Alabama coach Anthony Grant, who made a name for himself as an assistant at Florida and a head coach at Virginia Commonwealth.

What Lebo has seen in Grant’s teams, particularly this year’s Crimson Tide squad, is an athletic group that shuts opponents down by defending every inch of the court.

It makes him wonder what happened to his own team’s defensive prowess.

It will be a tale of two defenses when Auburn (10-11, 1-5 SEC) and Alabama (13-7, 3-3) renew their in-state rivalry at 4 p.m. ET today at Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum.

My random number guesses: Auburn gains 14 points lead in the first half, and proceed to lose the game by 6 points.

I want Auburn to lose all it's games so we won't have to watch that clown again.
