Amidst the raucous fever of a Coleman Coliseum packed to the brim, the Alabama Crimson Tide fought tooth and nail to ward off the frenetic efforts of a hyped Auburn team, and made just enough late free throws to ice the win. In a day where Retin Obasohan struggled to give much of a spark to the Alabama offense, the rest of the team rallied to pick up the production that he usually gives. The game was muddled with fouls and bad calls on both teams, yet the players managed to keep the pace entertaining with a bevy of dunks, blocks, and opportune three point shots.
