How to watch Auburn vs Alabama State today: Time, TV channel for March Madness

[ASFN Admin]

The No. 1 seed Auburn Tigers face the No. 16 seed Alabama State Hornets on Thursday in the NCAA Tournament first round at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.

Auburn earned the No. 1 overall seed by winning the SEC regular season crown and boasting the best resume in college basketball with 16 quad-1 victories. Alabama State has recently played the underdog role by upsetting Jackson State in the SWAC Tournament and pulling off a stunning last-second win over St. Francis in the First Four despite trailing for most of the game.

On paper, Auburn should coast to a win. However, Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl expects a fight from the Tigers' in-state foe.

I would say that the advantage that Alabama State would have in this sense is that they're not going to be intimidated by Auburn. They played against us. Their kids know our kids. They played against each other, some of them, in high school. Whereas if we had played another team that really didn't know much about us, or whatever, from another part of the country, who were playing the No. 1 team seed -- don't worry about Alabama State. They ain't afraid of us.
