Alabama basketball was tied with Auburn at halftime Saturday afternoon. From that point forward, Auburn exploded and the Tide imploded. Scoring 54 second-half points, the Tigers won easily on their home court 84-64.

Before considering what led to Bama’s Saturday demise, putting the loss into a historical perspective might blunt some disappointment. It could have been worse. There have been far worse losses to Auburn in Bama’s basketball history.

Over a four-game span from January 23, 1999, through February 2, 2000, Alabama lost all four games to Auburn. The point deficits in the four defeats were: 15; 39; 28; and 14.
