Auburn basketball trolls Alabama on Twitter after blowout win
It’s not what you say but how you say it. That phrase describes what Auburn basketball’s Twitter account did on Friday.
Alabama’s hashtag throughout the 2017-18 season has been “buckle up.” So naturally, what did Auburn basketball use to tease its highlight video after earning a blowout win against the Tide on Wednesday night?
Unbuckled.

Needless to say, the Tigers didn’t need to do much talking after pulling away for the 90-71 win on Wednesday night. It’s Auburn who finds itself in position to close out a regular season title while Alabama is fighting for an NCAA Tournament berth.
The Tide could better its case with a deep run in the SEC Tournament, and potentially by knocking off Auburn in the process. Surely that would spark a trolling tweet or two.
Either way, it’s clear that this rivalry is picking up steam on the hardwood.
