Men’s Basketball Preview: Tigers welcome the hottest team in the SEC to Columbia

The Tigers get their lone shot at Alabama this Saturday.

The Crimson Tide have emerged as the favorite to win the SEC at this point of the season, and for good reason. They are 16-2 (6-0) and ranked No. 4 under fourth year head coach Nate Oats.

The Tide are led by Brandon Miller, arguably the top freshman in the country and a National Player of the Year candidate. They have looked dominant in every conference game they have played thus far, winning by double-digits in every contest.

The Tigers have lived off of home-cooking in SEC play thus far.
