For the first time in SEC history, the top two teams in the country meet when No. 1 Auburn (22-2, 10-1) visits No. 2 Alabama (21-3, 10-1). The game also pits two contenders for National Player of the Year honors. Johni Broome is averaging 18.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.7 blocks per game for Auburn. All-American Mark Sears is scoring 17.8 points per game while dishing out 4.9 assists nightly for Bama.
