Alabama player to watch: Jaden Bradley
Syndication: Tuscaloosa News
Freshman guard Jaden Bradley has scored just six points over his last three games and is due to break out of his slump. In the first matchup against Auburn, Bradley played a pivotal role in defeating the Tigers by scoring 12 points. Generally when Bradley plays well offensively, so does the Tide.
Auburn player to watch: Wendell Greene Jr.

This Auburn team goes as Wendell Greene Jr. goes. Greene is electric if he can get going early. Alabama will have its handful containing the high-energy guard.

Score prediction
Syndication: The Montgomery Advertiser
Alabama 82, Auburn 69
I think it is obvious who the better team is, but in this matchup, that doesn’t really mean much. Auburn really needs a signature win, and boy would this be one for them. In the end, I believe Alabama is just too much for the Tigers.
