Alabama Morning Drive: Alabama basketball set to take on Arkansas
Good morning, Tide fans! Welcome back to another edition of Alabama Morning Drive where you try to bring you the latest news and notes involving the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Nate Oats and the No. 4 Alabama men’s basketball team will be back on the hardwood tonight to take on the No. 15 Arkansas Razorbacks.
The tip off between two of the top SEC programs is set for 6:00 p.m. CT inside Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville. The broadcast can be seen on ESPN2.
Although Arkansas will be down a couple of players, it will not be an easy task for Oats and the Tide in one of the most hostile environments in the SEC.
