Kristen Saban, Nick Saban’s daughter drops verdict on Alabama’s 81-99 watch against Auburn - “This game is hard to watch man”
Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban was back again watching the Alabama Crimson Tide in action. But during the football offseason, it was basketball that caught her attention. The Crimson Tide were up against their arch-rivals the Auburn Tigers in the NCAA Men's Basketball clash at Auburn Arena.
The Alabama-Auburn clash is one of the most anticipated ties that both fanbases look forward to every year. This time, it was elation for the home side and dejection for the visitors. Kristen dropped her verdict on the game after Alabama fell short against their local rivals.
Here is what former Alabama football head coach Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban said about the Tide’s 81-99 defeat to the Auburn Tigers:
“This game is hard to watch man,” Kristen wrote on X.
The No.12 Tigers hosted the No. 16 Crimson Tide and the result came out exactly according to the rankings. Auburn forwards Jaylin Williams and Johni Broome dropped a combined 50 points for the home side.
Alabama point guard Mark Sears led the visitors’ charge with 25 points but it proved in vain in the end. The hosts won the game 99-81 to complete the revenge for the reverse fixture a couple of weeks ago.
It is the seventh defeat for Alabama in the 2023-24 season and the team is currently third in the SEC. Auburn, on the other hand, are 19-4 overall and sit second on the table, with both teams having an identical 8-2 conference record so far.
