How to Watch No. 18 Alabama Men's Basketball vs South Dakota State
What a Feast Week it was for No. 18 Alabama basketball last weekend.
The Crimson Tide finished the Phil Knight Invitational with a 2-1 record, downing both then-No. 12 Michigan State and then-No. 1 North Carolina to improve to 6-1 on the season. Alabama did suffer a loss to then-No. 20 UConn, but finishing third place in a tournament field loaded with talent is no small victory for the Crimson Tide.
This week, Alabama takes a brief rest but will be back in action on the hardwood on Saturday against South Dakota State. The Jackrabbits are coming off of a 79-60 loss to James Madison in the Hostillo Community Classic and have a 3-4 record to start the season.

Last time out, Alabama: The Crimson Tide picked up its biggest win of the season thus far, knocking off No. 1 North Carolina in the third-place game of the Phil Knight Invitational in four overtimes, 103-101. In a neck-and-neck game that saw 14 lead changes and 15 times tied over the 60 minutes of play, Alabama out-rebounded UNC by a margin of 58-54. While the Crimson Tide's offensive attack kept the game close with the team shooting 41 percent from the floor and 42 percent from 3-point territory, it was Alabama's defense that ultimately granted the team the win: six blocks, six steals and a gritty awareness that lasted through the final seconds.

Guard Zeke Mayo led SDSU with 16 points and forward William Kyle III had a solid game with 15 points and a team-leading seven rebounds, but five double-digit shooters for the Dukes proved too difficult for the Jackrabbits to overcome.
