How to Watch No. 4 Alabama Basketball vs No. 15 Gonzaga

Everything you need to know as the Crimson Tide takes on the Bulldogs at the C.M. Newton Classic inside Legacy Arena.

On Saturday, inside Legacy Arena in downtown Birmingham, Ala., No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball will face the third and final opponent of a grueling three-game non-conference stretch, the No. 15 Gonzaga Bulldogs.

The Crimson Tide and the Bulldogs have faced each other only once before, a 91-82 upset win by Alabama last season at the Battle in Seattle. The loss was just the second of the season for Gonzaga, which was ranked third in the nation at the time.

This year, it's the Bulldogs' turn to make the long trip. 

While the game was played in Seattle last season — about a four-hour drive from Gonzaga's home of Spokane, Wash. — this year's meeting will be in Birmingham, which is located around an hour from the Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa.

The Bulldogs haven't forgotten about last year's loss, while the Crimson Tide is dead-set on winning its fifth-consecutive game as well as its third in a row against a ranked opponent.
