[autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama men’s basketball team are coming off an emotionally hard-fought victory over Auburn on Wednesday night and will now have to quickly shift their focus to the LSU Tigers on Saturday night.
For Coach Oats and Alabama, it is an opportunity to remain atop the SEC standings and continue its push for yet another SEC regular season title.
On Thursday, Coach Oats previewed the matchup with LSU, what he is hoping to see from his team on Saturday, and what it will take to compete for an SEC championship.
“If we’re going to try to compete for the league championship, you’ve got to win home games,” Oats said. “Our guys can’t be up and down. We can’t play really hard against Auburn because it’s a rivalry game and then not play as hard because we got that win.
“We’ve got to fight complacency in that regard because we haven’t proved that we can do it consistently, two halves, over a long stretch, which is what it’s going to take to win the league.”
