Mark Sears' Buzzer-Beater Lifts No. 7 Alabama Over Top-Ranked Auburn in Overtime Thriller

Alabama ends Auburn's home finale with a dramatic 93-91 win, marking the Tigers' first back-to-back losses of the season.

Mark Sears scored a game-winning floater at the buzzer in overtime, despite only making three baskets in the game.
Alabama's Grant Nelson led the team with 23 points, while Auburn's Johni Broome shined with a game-high 34 points in the loss.
The game marked Alabama coach Nate Oats' third career win against an AP No. 1 team, tying the SEC record for most such wins by a coach.
Auburn’s Chad Baker-Mazara was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul in the second half, leaving the Tigers without their second-leading scorer for the final stretch.
Both teams now turn their focus to the SEC Tournament, where Alabama and Auburn have secured top-four seeds and opening-round byes.
