What channel is Vanderbilt basketball vs. Alabama on today? Time, TV schedule

Vanderbilt basketball opens SEC play against Alabama on Saturday at Memorial Gym.

The Commodores begin SEC play after a destructive non-conference slate. Vandy lost games against Presbyterian, San Francisco and Western Carolina while going 0-5 against major opponents.

The Crimson Tide (8-5) may not have a gaudy record but posted losses against Purdue, Arizona, Creighton, Clemson and Ohio State by an average of eight points. Alabama played one of the nation's top non-conference schedules and should still be considered one of the SEC's best teams.
