Find out how you can watch on TV, stream on-demand or listen on the radio as the Tide takes on No. 4 Kentucky in Lexington.

No. 25 Alabama (17-9, 7-6) is on a three-game winning streak and will be looking for more as they take on AP No. 4 Kentucky (21-5, 10-3) on Saturday.

Since the loss to the Wildcats in the first meeting between the two this season, the Tide has posted wins against Ole Miss, No. 23 Arkansas and Mississippi State.

Alabama is currently in sixth place in the SEC standings, but with five games still remaining the Crimson Tide can still climb up the ladder and possibly even earn a first-round bye in the conference tournament.

Where Alabama hoops lands in USA TODAY Sports latest Bracketology

Alabama is included in USA TODAY Sports’ latest NCAA Tournament bracketology.

The Crimson Tide is showing improvements as we near the end of the regular season. Nate Oats squad has racked up back-to-back wins coming against Ole Miss and Arkansas last week, bringing their record up to 16-9 (6-6 SEC).

With the NCAA Tournament approaching swiftly, it’s a great time to start talking about what the brackets could look like. USA TODAY Sports has released some Bracketology, which is the art/science/process of predicting what the bracket will look like on Selection Sunday, and Alabama men’s basketball is included in the mix.

The Crimson Tide is currently projected as a No. 7 seed in USA TODAY Sports latest bracketology and is still in contention for a top-four seed in the SEC Tournament, which will grant them a first-round bye in the tourney.

Along with Alabama, Auburn appears as a No. 1 seed. Additionally, Kentucky comes in as a No. 2 seed while Tennesee is a No. 4 seed, Arkansas is a No. 6 seed, and LSU is a No. 6 seed.

Alabama vs. LSU: How to watch, stream, listen

Alabama needs a win against LSU at home today. Here’s how to watch, stream or listen to the game!

Southeastern Conference play for the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team could be going worse, but in its current state, it badly needs a win if it hopes to collect any momentum and turn this 2021-22 campaign around.

The Tide’s last effort against the Mississippi State Bulldogs came up short in a 78-76 loss at home last Saturday to bring their season record to 11-6. They’re just 2-3 in SEC competition as of now.

After losing their ranking as an AP Top 25 program, maybe the losses Alabama has suffered will rally Nate Oats’ squad and lead to better basketball and happier Tide fans.

Here is information on how you can watch, stream or listen to Alabama’s big home matchup against the No. 13 LSU Tigers.

Tipoff: Jan. 19 at 6:00 p.m. CST

Location: Coleman Coliseum Tuscaloosa, AL

Alabama MBB remains in AP Top 25 despite loss to Missouri

The Crimson Tide fall, but remain in AP Top 25 following their road loss to Missouri.

This Alabama basketball team has the potential to be one of the best teams in the SEC, but they have hardly played to that potential in a few outings this season. The Crimson Tide has suffered losses to Iona, Davidson, Memphis and now Missouri.

After the road loss to Missouri on Saturday, a team that the Crimson Tide has struggled with tremendously under Nate Oats, Alabama was dropped to No. 24 in the latest AP Poll.

Alabama fans should remain hopeful, last season saw the Tide suffer a few questionable losses en route to an SEC Championship in both the regular season and conference tournament. With plenty of basketball left to be played this season, Alabama can still accomplish all that they have set out to do.

Alabama gains some ground in latest MBB AP Top 25 Poll

Alabama moves up a few spots in the AP Poll following the win over Tennessee.

With a win over a ranked Tennessee Vols team in the last outing, the Crimson Tide is gaining ground in the AP Poll this week after seeing a sharp decline in their position begin a couple of weeks ago.

Nate Oats and his Alabama men’s basketball team have elevated to as high as No. 5 this season. However, after losses to Memphis and Davidson the Crimson Tide lost a considerable amount of support among the voters and descended down to No. 19 just last week.

Now, this Alabama team finds itself at No. 15 as conference play gets going. Plenty of tough tests remain on the schedule, but the Tide has the weapons to cause some serious damage in SEC play.

4-star 2023 PG London Johnson includes Alabama in his top 6

Alabama is in the running for the solid 2023 PG!

Alabama basketball is on a glorious upswing thanks to the recruiting and coaching efforts of head coach Nate Oats, who is currently working on his third year at the Capstone.

The 2022 class has seen five athletes sign their letters of intent to play basketball for the Crimson Tide in 2022 since the early signing period began on November 10.

Oats doesn’t appear to be slacking when it comes to putting together his 2023 class. London Johnson, a 6-4, 165 pound point guard from Norcross, GA has included the Crimson Tide in his top six schools. He announced his top six on Twitter, and it also includes Clemson, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, USC and Georgia.

The four-star PG would indeed make a valuable addition to the Crimson Tide roster in the future.
