Alabama, Auburn Try To Snap Out Of Hoops Doldrums

Football will take center stage at the Alabama-Auburn hoops game, at least at halftime.
  Â
The Crimson Tide visits the Tigers on Wednesday night with both having unimpressive seasons.
  Â
As usual, the winning Iron Bowl team will be honored at halftime. This game will have much more modest stakes than that matchup of two national title contenders.
  Â
The Tigers have dropped 16 consecutive games against league opponents heading into the game. Alabama is 0-7 away from home.
  Â
Auburn’s last SEC win came 51 weeks ago with a 49-37 victory over Alabama.
  Â
The status of Alabama’s No. 2 scorer Retin Obasohan could be a game-time decision. He has missed the last two games with a hip injury.
