The Alabama Crimson Tide are back in Coleman Coliseum in SEC basketball play this weekend. Nate Oats’ team faces the Texas Longhorns in Tuscaloosa in prime time Saturday. Alabama (11-4 overall, 1-1 conference) is ranked No. 12 in this week’s USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll; Texas (9-6, 0-2) is unranked.
The Crimson Tide are coming off a 96-90 loss in Nashville to the 10th-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores on Wednesday in a game that took over 2 1/2 hours and featured 64 fouls called by referee Don Daily and crew. Freshman Amari Allen had a career-high 25 points for Alabama in the loss. Crimson Tide guard Labaron Philon exited the game early due to what coach Nate Oats described as “full-body cramps.” Philon had 18 points in 20 minutes against Vanderbilt. Aden Holloway added 22 points in the loss.
Texas fell to 0-2 in conference play following an 85-71 loss to the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville on Tuesday. Tramon Mark led the Longhorns with 20 points in the loss. Dailyn Swain leads Texas in scoring with 15.6 points per game. Alabama and Texas are meeting for the 15th time in series history. The Longhorns lead the all-time series, 9-5. The Crimson Tide won last year’s matchup, 103-80, on Feb. 11 in Austin.
