SEC Tournament: How to watch Alabama basketball vs. Miss State
The top-seeded Alabama men’s basketball team (26-5, 16-2 SEC) is in Nashville on Friday taking on No. 9 seed Mississippi State in the SEC Tournament. While this is the Crimson Tide’s first postseason game, the Bulldogs have already beaten Florida 69-68, which took place on Thursday.
Alabama has already beaten Mississippi State twice this season. The first was a 78-67 road victory in Starkville back in late December. Then, the Crimson Tide followed it up with a 66-63 win in Tuscaloosa less than a month later. As coach Nate Oats recently pointed out, however, it’s tough to beat a team three times.
In other words, Friday will be a tough test for Alabama.
