Alabama basketball got a win over No. 1 Auburn and something else more important. And just in time for March Madness.

Mark Sears connected on a 15-foot floater as time expired in overtime to give No. 7 Alabama a dramatic 93-91 victory over top-ranked Auburn in Southeastern Conference play on Saturday afternoon.
