Columnist JoeGoodmanJr's advice: 'Pace yourselves, friends... The real craziness comes next. This city knows all about big Saturdays with Alabama and Auburn, but not like this. This is different. Y’all, this is truly a rare kind of madness.' 🏀
. A favorite to win the whole thing, Alabama plays eight-seed Maryland at 8:40 p.m. on Saturday, or directly after rival Auburn.
“Alabama took care of their business today early on. They filled the building. Auburn played a really good team out of the Big Ten. And we played well and we filled our building. And I think it makes a statement about basketball in the state of Auburn and the great job that people here in Birmingham did putting this tournament together.”
Stick your tongue out, Birmingham, Alabama. Revel in this moment like Prince Johnson celebrates an and-one bucket. What happens on Saturday will be something this city and this state remembers for a long time. Yes, I think the NCAA knew exactly what it was doing when it sent Alabama and Auburn to Legacy Arena to begin the NCAA Tournament. This first weekend of the tournament is a celebration like Birmingham deserves. It’s a great sports town, and the city, through hard work and unity, has put itself in a position to be the envy of others.
