Alabama Auburn basketball game delayed by light malfunction, Tide fans chant F*ck You Auburn

Alabama-Auburn basketball game delayed by lighting issues, sparking jokes and social media buzz. Tide needs win for NCAA Tournament hopes.

The Alabama-Auburn rivalry is one of the biggest in college football, and it extends to basketball as well. Despite Alabama's strong 12-6 record, Auburn has been performing even better with a 16-2 record and a No. 8 ranking in the country. This made their recent SEC showdown a crucial game for Alabama to build their NCAA Tournament resume.

The game got off to a bizarre start when the lights went out after Auburn hit an early three-pointer. Fans used the delay to make jokes on social media about Alabama's ability to pay for lighting in their arena. When the lights finally came back on, a new issue arose, adding to the tough times in Tuscaloosa.

The rivalry between these two schools is intense, and this game was no exception. Despite the unusual start, both teams were determined to come out on top. With so much at stake, this SEC battle on the hardwood was a must-watch for college basketball fans.
