Auburn Basketball Iron Bowl Breakdown | Keyshawn Hall, Kevin Overton | Auburn Football Podcast
Podcast: The Auburn ExpressPublished On: Sat Feb 07 2026
Description: BREAKING drama has entered the Iron Bowl on the hardwood, and Auburn basketball finds itself right in the middle of it. With Alabama pushing the limits of NCAA eligibility rules, the spotlight is now squarely on Charles Bediako and whether he should even be on the floor when Auburn and Alabama tip off inside Neville Arena. This episode dives deep into the NCAA court case surrounding Bediako, the massive risk Alabama is taking by playing him, and why the NCAA and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey are clearly pushing back. There is real danger here for Alabama basketball, including forfeits, vacated wins, and long term consequences that could linger well beyond this season. From Auburn’s perspective, this game matters in a big way. Sitting at 5 and 4 in SEC play, Auburn basketball still has a path to the NCAA Tournament, but the margin for error is razor thin. Wins like this one matter not just for momentum, but for resume strength. Neville Arena will be electric, the Jungle is already camping out, and this game has all the ingredients of a classic Iron Bowl showdown. Keyshawn Hall continues to play at an elite level and is firmly established as one of the top scorers in the SEC. The bigger question is who steps up next to him. Kevin Overton’s defensive impact, free throw consistency, and ability to explode offensively could swing this game. Todd Pettiford’s Iron Bowl history also looms large as Auburn looks for secondary scoring and poise. This breakdown covers matchups, tournament implications, Alabama’s defensive issues, Auburn’s scoring needs, and why this Iron Bowl feels different than most. High stakes. Real consequences. And a massive opportunity for Auburn basketball to take control of its postseason destiny. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
