Mark Sears (Guard) vs. Johni Broome (Forward)

In 22 games played this season, Mark Sears has averaged 30.8 minutes, 20.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 52.6% from the field, 85.3% from the free throw line and 44% from three. The electric guard is the catalyst behind Alabama’s success, using his quickness and shooting to put up big offensive numbers.

Meanwhile, Johni Broome has played 24 minutes per game across 22 contests, averaging 15.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.3 blocks while shooting 56.3% overall and 34.1% from deep. The forward is a force in the paint for Auburn, controlling the glass and protecting the rim defensively.

This clash features Sears’ electric perimeter scoring and shooting against Broome’s interior defense and rebounding. If Sears gets hot from the outside, it could draw Broome away from the basket and open up driving lanes. But if Broome locks down the paint, he can eliminate easy looks for Alabama. The battle between these two stars could determine the outcome in this rivalry game.

Crimson Tide’s Offensive Firepower

Alabama boasts an offensive powerhouse, scoring an average of 89.9 points per game at 48.5% shooting efficiency from the field. Under Sears’s tutelage, Alabama averaged 11.4 threes per game at 38.2% accuracy from three-point range – potentially being key in unlocking Auburn’s defense; however, 12.4 turnovers per game from Alabama made ball security crucially important to Alabama’s victory.

Tigers’ Balanced Attack and Defensive Solidity

Auburn averages an impressive 82.4 points per game with an impressive field goal percentage of 46.7%, reflecting their balanced attack in scoring, rebounding and assists. Defensively they excel with 5.9 blocks per game led by Broome that indicate their ability to protect the rim effectively and their road record (6-4 against the spread) shows they can handle pressure away from home.
