Alabama’s men’s basketball team is gearing up to host Arkansas State at Coleman Coliseum on Monday night. This game will mark the Red Wolves’ first visit to Tuscaloosa, with their first-year head coach Bryan Hodgson returning to his former home after spending the past four years in Tuscaloosa.
Alabama’s offense continues to impress, ranking No. 1 in the country according to KenPom. The team has scored 664 points, averaging 94.9 points per game, which is the most in program history through the first seven games of the season.
The game is set for a 7 p.m. CT tipoff and will be aired on the SEC Network. The radio broadcast will be available on the Crimson Tide Sports Network.

The Crimson Tide’s backcourt players, Aaron Estrada and Mark Sears, are close to reaching career milestones, with Estrada six points away from 1,600 career points and Sears one point away from 1,500 career points. Alabama’s impressive offensive performance is reflected in their statistics, including being ranked No. 1 in scoring, No. 2 in free throws made, and No. 8 in effective field goal percentage.
