Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team will look to get back in the win column on Saturday when they travel to Baton Rouge to take on Matt McMahon and the LSU Tigers.
Alabama is currently in a logjam at the top of the SEC standings and securing a road victory over the Tigers would be a big step in the right direction for potentially retaking the conference lead.
Winning on the road is never easy and Coach Oats has challenged his team to be better defensively, including his star player, Mark Sears.
“And honestly, we need Mark to play better defense. Like we’re not going to be able to win at the level we’re used to winning at around here if he’s not better for us on defense. But we do need some guys to step up and help him out on offense a little bit more.”
Below is all the information you need for Saturday’s matchup between Alabama and LSU, including the broadcast guide, injury report, and projected starting lineups.
