MOUNTAIN BROOK, Ala. - University of Alabama men's basketball head coach Nate Oats, forward Herb Jones, and guard Kira Lewis, Jr. addressed the media today at SEC Tipoff '20. 

Oats offered a lot of insight into the culture he is building in Tuscaloosa, an update on Jahvon Quinerly's eligibility, and what fans can expect in year one of his tenure. 

Jones is ready to see the offensive part of his game take off and this team maximize their potential, after a disappointing end to last year. 

Lewis Jr., who was voted preseason All-SEC 2nd team by the media, wants to elevate his play during his sophomore campaign. 

The Alabama-Auburn rivalry knows no bounds, as Tigers center Anfernee McLemore could not leave Mountain Brook without taking a shot at the Crimson Tide. 

Cary Clark and Tyler Martin recap the day's action from the Grand Bohemian Hotel.
