AUBURN — It's sequel season in college basketball.

While No. 1 Auburn (20-1, 9-0 SEC) is a model of consistency with 17 consecutive wins, Alabama (14-7, 4-4) is reveling in the chaos of its season after losing to Georgia then beating Baylor.

When the Iron Bowl of Basketball was played in Tuscaloosa on Jan. 11, the Tide nearly erased a 14-point second-half deficit. Auburn escaped. Can Bruce Pearl's Tigers fight off Alabama again, or is an upset in store? In this episode of The Iron Bowl of Podcasts, Nick and Bennett discuss what Alabama needs to do to turn the tide.

Then Nick talks senior bowl before hitting the road for Mobile, and Bennett recaps a monumental weekend for Auburn gymnastics in the rivalry that Alabama once owned.

The Iron Bowl of Podcasts is a USA TODAY Network conversation show in which Alabama beat writer Nick Kelly and Auburn beat writer Bennett Durando debate and discuss the greatest rivalry in sports — because what else really matters to sports fans in the state of Alabama?
