How to Watch: No. 2 Alabama Basketball at No. 24 Texas A&M
Alabama may have wrapped up the regular season SEC title with its win over Auburn Wednesday night, but there is still one game remaining on the regular season schedule. And it's against the team that was closest in contention with the Crimson Tide for the regular season crown.
It also just so happens to be the only SEC team Nate Oats has a losing record against. No. 2 Alabama will close out the regular season with a road trip at No. 24 Texas A&M this Saturday. The Crimson Tide has never played at Reed Arena in the Oats tenure.
