Auburn predicted to lose to Alabama State upset
In a bold prediction for the NCAA Tournament, ESPN's Pablo Torre has chosen Alabama State, a 16-seed, to upset 1-seed Auburn. Auburn is the top overall seed in the tournament, which makes this prediction surprising for fans. Alabama State recently won a thrilling game to advance to this matchup. Their last game included a dramatic finish, often called a "Hail Mary" play. If Alabama State manages to win, they would make history, as only two 16-seeds have ever defeated a 1-seed in the tournament's history. The Hornets are coached by Tony Madlock, a former Memphis basketball star. They are known for their strong guards, which can sometimes lead to unexpected success in tournament play. Many basketball fans will watch to see if Alabama State can pull off this historic upset against Auburn.
