Auburn may have salted away the title of “Comeback Kids” for 2019-20 even with a month in the regular season and March Madness still to come. The 11th-ranked Tigers (21-2, 8-2 Southeastern Conference) will take a five-game conference winning streak — and six-game streak overall — into Wednesday night’s rematch with Alabama. The Tigers have recorded four league wins in that stretch that have given them a share of the conference lead with LSU and Kentucky. He had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds when the Crimson Tide (13-10, 5-5 SEC) rolled over the Tigers 83-64 in Tuscaloosa last month. “Herb made some huge plays on defense and on the glass right out of the gate,” Alabama coach Nate Oats said.
