With both 1-seed Alabama basketball and 4-seed Missouri winning their respective opening games on Friday, the two teams are set to face off on Saturday at Bridgestone Arena in the SEC Tournament semifinals.

While the Crimson Tide bested the Tigers on the road during the regular season — earning Nate Oats his first win in Columbia — Missouri has continued to be one of the more impressive turnarounds in college basketball this season. With a 24-8 record, the Tigers are poised for a trip to the NCAA Tournament as well, but a win over Alabama could significantly improve their seeding.

Regardless, Saturday's game is set to be one of the best of the weekend. If you like high-quality conference matchups, then this game will be a must-watch.
