Alabama Basketball Clinches SEC Title In Dramatic Fashion

It wasn't pretty, and it damn sure wasn't easy, but the 2nd ranked Crimson Tide basketball team clinched their second SEC Championship in the last three years on Wednesday night.

The Tide beat Auburn 90-85 in overtime, despite trailing by as many as 17 points halfway through the second half. Bama showed plenty of pluck and grit to pull out the win, as it improved to 26-4 on the season and 16-1 in the league.

If the win on Senior Night was not dramatic and sweet enough, the loss dropped the Tigers to 19-10 (9-7 SEC), with most pundits putting the reeling Tigers squarely on the Bubble.
