The basketball version of the Alabama-Auburn rivalry has heated up as both programs have risen into national prominence. The Tigers and Crimson Tide have become regulars in the AP Top 25 and each has made a trip to the Final Four in the past five years, including Alabama's first trip last year. Auburn and Alabama will take perhaps the biggest step in the basketball rivalry on Saturday, when they'll make Southeastern Conference history as the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup in league history. No. 22 Mississippi State has two matchups against ranked teams, facing No. 3 Florida and No. 19 Ole Miss. No. 6 Houston also plays at No. 13 Arizona.
