Alabama Game Today: Alabama vs. LSU Line, Prediction, Odds, TV Channel & Live Stream for Basketball Game Jan. 19

Alabama Basketball returns to action Wednesday night in Coleman Coliseum against the nefarious Will Wade and the LSU Bengal Tigers. How much the Crimson Tide needs a win was summed up by Nate Oats earlier in the week, when he said, losing is easy.

The teams met three times last season with Alabama winning at Baton Rouge and in Tuscaloosa. The last one was the Crimson Tide’s exciting 80-79 SEC Tournament win in Nashville.

The Tide sits at 11-6 and 2-3 in SEC play. Alabama has lost its last three games and five of its last eight. The latest NCAA NET rankings have the Tide at No. 24.

LSU is 15-2 on the season after starting 12-0, before losing two of its last five games. Most of the opponents in the 12-game win streak were not a challenge. The Bengal Tigers are ranked No. 7 in the NCAA NET rankings. The two losses came against Auburn and Arkansas. In SEC play, LSU has beaten Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida.

Alabama vs. LSU Prediction

Ken Pomeroy rates the teams more highly than their NET ranking. KenPom has the Crimson Tide at No. 16 and LSU at No. 10.

The Crimson Tide should outlast the Bengal Tigers with extended effort. Any Tide player lacking intensity will be benched. In what should be a tight game, renewed intensity and home-court advantage should give the Tide a win.
