Tide beats Tigers in OT in final game of regular season

WELL, THE FINAL GAME OF THE REGULAR SEASON OFFICIALLY HERE. ALABAMA TAKING ON AUBURN A TOP TEN MATCHUP HERE AT NEVILLE ARENA BRUCE AND THE AUBURN TIGERS HOST NATE OATS AND ALABAMA. NOT A LOT ON THE LINE. STANDINGS WISE, BUT BRAGGING RIGHTS ARE FOR SURE THERE. ON SENIOR NIGHT, THE TIGERS HOPE TO SWEEP THE CRIMSON TIDE IN THE REGULAR SEASON. AUBURN BEAT ALABAMA IN THE FIRST MATCHUP BETWEEN THESE TWO. ONE OF THE TOP PLAYERS IN THE NATION, JANAI BROOME, HAVING ANOTHER MAGICAL DAY INSIDE AND OUT IN HIS FINAL GAME AT NEVILLE, HE MAKES IT COUNT, BUT THIS GAME WENT TO OVERTIME. BAMA UP THREE. JANAI BROOME TIES IT WITH 14 SECONDS LEFT. A THREE FROM THE CORNER TIE GAME NOW. ALABAMA HAS THE BALL. MARK SEARS WHO DID NOT HAVE HIS BEST GAME. JUST SEVEN POINTS BEFORE THE FINAL POSSESSION IN OVERTIME. BUT THE BEST PLAYER FOR ALABAMA GETS THE BALL AND MAKES IT COUNT WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE. A FLOATER TO WIN IT FOR THE CRIMSON TIDE IN OVERTIME TO SPLIT THE SERIES. NOBODY IN THE COUNTRY HAS GOTTEN ANYTHING CLOSE TO THE SEVEN GAME STRETCH. WE HAD TO CLOSE THE YEAR TO COME UP WITH A WIN AGAINST THE NUMBER ONE TEAM ON THEIR HOME FLOOR. HAPPENS TO BE OUR ARCH RIVAL. TO CLOSE IT OUT AFTER THE ADVERSITY WE FACED, YOU KNOW, WE COULD HAVE EASILY FOLDED. YOU KNOW WE HAD THE TOUGH LOSS AT TENNESSEE, FLORIDA GAME. WE DIDN’T LOOK GREAT. BOUNCE BACK AND COME IN HERE LIKE WE DID AND THINGS DIDN’T GO PERFECT. YOU KNOW THEY YOU KNOW I THINK IT WAS A GOOD PLAY CALL BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT CAUSED A LOT OF CONFUSION. AND THEY DIDN’T KNOW IF THEY LIKE EARLIER IN THE GAME THEY WERE SWITCHING EVERYTHING GUARD TO GUARD. SO LIKE I DID A QUICK HAND OFF TO BARON. THEY DIDN’T SWITCH AND I WAS ABLE TO GET DOWNHILL WITH MY LEFT HAND AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF. AND WITH ENOUGH TIME. SO YES, IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD PLAY. BLAKE. THANKS, MARK. SO NEXT UP FOR ALABAMA AND AUBURN, A DOUBLE BYE IN THE SEC TOURNAMENT THAT’S GOING TO BE IN NASHVILLE STARTING ON FRID
