TNR 3/26/26 - Hour 3 | What SEC Teams Can SURVIVE the Sweet 16?

• Richard Hendrix talks SEC teams in the Sweet 16

• We break down Alabama basketball’s Sweet 16 showdown with Michigan in the Windy City and the biggest keys for Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide to pull off a massive upset victory. Can Alabama’s pace, shot-making and star power carry them into the Elite Eight?

• We’re also diving into a major SEC football talking point: reports that SEC programs are spending less on recruiting high school players. What does that mean for roster building, NIL strategy, the transfer portal, and the long-term future of the league?

• On the basketball side, Auburn has made the Final Four of the NIT Tournament. What does that run mean for the Tigers, and how should Auburn fans feel about the way this postseason is playing out?

• PLUS, LT's Trash presented by Bud Light!
