Summary

Seven straight wins and spring football on the horizon? That calls for a smooth pour IN OUR NEW STUDIO! 🥃🐘 On this episode of Bama and Bourbon, Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles of Yea Alabama break down Alabama Basketball’s dominant blowout win over Mississippi State — and they did it without leading scorer Labaron Philon. How did the Crimson Tide adjust offensively? Who stepped up in Philon’s absence? And what does this performance say about the depth and championship ceiling of Nate Oats’ squad during this 7-game winning streak? The guys dive into what’s fueling Alabama’s momentum in SEC play, how this stretch impacts NCAA Tournament seeding, and whether this team is peaking at the right time as March approaches. Then the focus shifts to the gridiron as LT and Aaron look ahead to Kalen DeBoer and Alabama Football gearing up for spring practice. What are the biggest storylines to watch? How is the roster shaping up? And what does year 3 under DeBoer need to look like for the Crimson Tide to get back into national championship contention? All of it pairs perfectly with a pour of Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke, blending bold Alabama sports talk with smooth bourbon flavor. If you’re an Alabama Basketball fan, an Alabama Football diehard, or a true bourbon enthusiast, this episode is for you. 👉 Like the video, subscribe to The Next Round YouTube channel, and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Bama and Bourbon.
