Alabama hoops has a big game looming this afternoon as the Crimson Tide takes on top-five Baylor at home in the Big 12/SEC Classic.
Coming off of a devastating loss to the Georgia Bulldogs earlier in the week, Nate Oats will hope his team can bounce back and pick up a W against a fifth AP-ranked team this season.
The theme of this season for Alabama has been playing to the level of competition. In games against lesser opponents, the Tide seems to match it. When facing good to great teams, they have met the intensity.
A win against the Baylor Bears will go a long way in repairing the enthusiasm that Alabama fans seem to have lost following the UGA loss.
Tipoff: Jan. 29 at 3:00 p.m. CST
Location: Coleman Coliseum Tuscaloosa, AL
Television: ESPN
Radio: Crimson Tide Sports Network / TuneIn app
