Alabama has been showing strong trends in their recent games. Despite a close loss against the ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs with a score of 90-100, Alabama demonstrated their ability to compete with top-tier teams. Their two-point field goal percentage was an impressive 66 percent, and they capitalized on fast-break opportunities by scoring 18 points. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 21 times.


In their victory over Memphis Tigers at home, Alabama edged out with a final score of 91-88. They showed improvement in ball handling and defense by recording seven blocks and maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio close to one. Their free throw accuracy was notable at approximately 73 percent.


The most recent away game against Houston Cougars showcased Alabama's resilience as they secured a win with a score of 71-65 against the number one ranked team. The Crimson Tide managed to out-rebound Houston by five boards and kept turnovers down compared to previous games.


Looking ahead at the matchup with Jackson State Tigers, fans should expect Alabama to leverage their home-court advantage at Coleman Coliseum where they have shown strong performances this season. With consistent shooting from inside the arc and an emphasis on reducing turnovers while maintaining defensive intensity, Alabama aims for another win that will contribute positively towards their season record.


The upcoming game is scheduled for December 21st at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, AL. Fans can catch all the action live on SEC Network (channel 611) or attend in person for what promises to be an exciting encounter between these two teams.
