The freshman big man is starting to play with more confidence and physicality and his improvement has been noticeable over the past couple of SEC games. As Stevenson continues to improve, so will this Alabama basketball team.

Georgia player to watch: RJ Melendez

The junior guard went off on Saturday down in Gainsville dropping 35 points on the Gators. Melendez was also a menace on the defensive end collecting five steals in the game.

Score prediction

This is a difficult game to predict because I believe Alabama is the better team but winning on the road in the SEC is tough. I do believe Alabama will answer the bell and fight tooth and nail to secure the victory and extend its lead in the SEC standings.
