Alabama beats Auburn in heated exhibition game at Legacy Arena
Reading time: 1 minute
For the first time in four decades, the Alabama and Auburn men’s basketball teams met on the court in Birmingham.
Thursday night’s game will not count toward either team’s tournament resume or the SEC standings but you would have thought a national championship was on the line with how the two rivals played.
Intensity was high throughout the game and in the moments after the final buzzer when Alabama secured an 87-85 victory over the Tigers at Legacy Arena.
The game featured:
- 4 technical fouls
- 54 fouls
- 72 free throws
- 3 players disqualified
After the final buzzer, Alabama’s Amari Allen was pushed from behind as players from both teams exchanged words. The coaching staffs quickly intervened and sent players to their respective locker rooms without a postgame handshake.
