To say it has been a tough non-conference stretch for [autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team would be a massive understatement.
Through 10 games, Alabama has faced the likes of Ohio State, Oregon, Purdue, and most recently Creighton where the Tide dropped the road contest to the Bluejays 85-82.
Alabama has proven they can play alongside some of the best teams in the country, but for some reason, the Tide can’t seem to find a way to win these tough matchups.
Things won’t get any easier for Oats and Alabama with a trip to Phoenix on Wednesday night to take on No. 1 Arizona up next.
Below is everything Coach Oats had to say following Alabama’s tough road loss to the Bluejays on Saturday night.
