After steamrolling the Maryland Terrapins on Monday night, the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team is set to take on the UCLA Bruins on Sunday evening.
Tip-off is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. CT.
The game will air on TBS and stream via the NCAA March Madness Live app on applicable devices.
As a precaution against coronavirus transmission, all games during March Madness 2021 are being played in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. The Tide will take on the Bruins in the historic Hinkle Fieldhouse.
In the first two rounds of a tournament rife with upsets, the Tide effectively put away their first two opponents.
Rick Pitino’s Iona squad put up stronger than expected resistance early in Saturday’s matchup before giving way late in the game and ultimately losing by 13 points.
Defeating Maryland in the second-round matchup on Monday proved no object for the Tide, who turned an eight-point halftime lead into a 96-77 blowout with the help of 16 three-pointers over the course of the game.
A win on Sunday would advance the Tide to the Elite Eight on the following Tuesday, where they would play the winner of Florida State versus Michigan.
The Seminoles and the Wolverines play their Sweet Sixteen game just before Bama, on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. CT on CBS.
