[ad_1]

Alabama basketball looks to continue its historic season, including a berth in its first-ever Final Four game and, potentially, its first appearance in the national championship game.

But to do that, the Crimson Tide will have to first take down top-seed UConn on Saturday night in the Final Four at State Farm Stadium. Tipoff is scheduled for approximately 7:49 p.m. CT in Arizona.

Nate Oats and Co. have advanced to the program’s first Final Four thanks to its high scoring offense — which ranks first in the nation at 90.6 points per game — and locking down on its defense, a staple of the Oats era in Tuscaloosa. The Tide has forced an NCAA Tournament-best 24 blocks. Opponents have shot less than 29% in each of Alabama’s four NCAA Tournament games this season, as well.

A fun matchup to watch in Saturday’s Final Four — aside from the friendly coaching battle between Oats and UConn’s Dan Hurley — will be the All-American guard battle between Mark Sears and Tristen Newton. Sears has scored 20 or more points in 17 of Alabama’s last 19 games. Meanwhile, Newton is averaging 15 points per game this season.

The winner of the game will advance to Monday night’s national championship game against the winner of 1 seed Purdue and 11 seed NC State, which precedes the Crimson Tide and the Huskies on Saturday at State Farm Stadium at 5:09 p.m. CT.
