The Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide are set to square off Saturday afternoon on The Plains for their first basketball matchup of the season and a renewal of one of the best rivalries in the sport.

While neither team is having quite the season they may have hoped for, that has not stopped the anticipation for the game. In a video shared to X, Auburn students are seen setting up their tents to sleep outside the arena to make sure they secure their spot in the venue for what will be a phenomenal game,

This is not the first time Auburn fans have camped out before a big game, with fans sleeping in tents for days last year ahead of their huge matchup with eventual national champion Florida.

Both the Tide and Tigers are currently not ranked in the AP Top-25, but with things so tight in the conference standings, this is an absolutely huge result in the race for an SEC title. Each sit at 5-4 in SEC play, two games behind leaders Texas A&M and Florida, so in order to keep pace, a win is critical.

Things tip off Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. CST in Neville Arena.
