Men's Basketball: Alabama Crimson Tide to Compete Against Vanderbilt Commodores at Coleman Coliseum

As the Alabama Crimson Tide prepares to welcome the Vanderbilt Commodores to Coleman Coliseum for an exciting men's basketball matchup, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from recent performances. The Crimson Tide has had a mixed bag of results in their last few games, showing both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their most recent game against the Oklahoma Sooners, the Crimson Tide fell short with 69 points against the Sooners' impressive 93. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways, such as scoring 38 points in the paint and making 15 second-chance points. However, they struggled from beyond the arc with only a 27 percent success rate on three-point attempts and had a low assists turnover ratio of 0.46.

Prior to that game, Alabama faced off against Mississippi State Bulldogs at home and secured a narrow victory with 66 points over Bulldogs' 63. Their free-throw accuracy was commendable at an impressive 86 percent but once again three-point shots were not falling as they would have liked with just under an 18 percent completion rate.

Looking further back at their away game versus Missouri Tigers, Alabama came out on top with an assertive win scoring 85 points to Missouri's 64. They dominated second-chance points with a total of 21 and showed defensive prowess by grabbing a total of 53 rebounds.

The upcoming game will be held in Tuscaloosa where home-court advantage has historically played its part for Alabama. Fans should look for improvements in three-point shooting accuracy and maintaining strong defense which has been crucial in past victories.

The match is scheduled for February first at one thirty AM UTC time (February first evening local time) at Coleman Coliseum. Fans can catch all the action live on SEC Network channel six hundred eleven.
