Last Meeting: The Crimson Tide dominated the Golden Grizzlies 86-59 on Nov. 19, 2021. Alabama guards Jaden Shackelford and Jahvon Quinerly combined for 39 points, eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals.

Jamal Cain scored 31 points for Oakland, with the next top scorer contributing eight points.

Last Time Out, Alabama: The Crimson Tide cruised past Arkansas State 101-86 at home on Nov. 6. Things were looking a bit worrisome for Alabama in the first half, but a 14-0 run to close the opening period immediately shut down the idea of an upset, and momentum stayed in the Tide's direction throughout the second half. Amari Allen logged the fifth triple-double in program history, as he helped Alabama grab 25 offensive rebounds — the most in a game under Oats.

Last Time Out, Oakland: The Golden Grizzlies fell to UC Santa Barbara 90-67 on the road on Nov. 7. Nassim Mashhour and Chris Fields Jr. combined for 32 points, with the latter grabbing 11 rebounds, but it was nowhere near enough. The Gauchos shot 51.7 percent from the field and 62.1 percent from behind the arc.
