Alabama Game Saturday: Alabama vs. Arkansas Line, Prediction, Odds, TV Channel & Live Stream for Basketball Game Feb. 12

Alabama Basketball has a big Saturday morning game in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide is coming off an important, and too rare this season, road win on Wednesday night against the Ole Miss Rebels.

Arkansas is 19-5 and 8-3 in SEC play, after opening their SEC season by losing their first three games. Arkansas is the hottest team in the conference, having won nine straight games. On Tuesday they beat Auburn in overtime. Even with the Tide playing at home, the Razorbacks will provide the Crimson Tide a stiffer challenge than it faced against Ole Miss.

Alabama sits at 15-9 and 5-6 in SEC play. The latest NCAA NET rankings have the Tide at No. 23. Arkansas is ranked No. 32 in the NCAA NET rankings.

The Crimson Tide went into the Ole Miss game last in the SEC in three-point, shooting percentage and shot a blistering 63.6 percent outside the arc against the Rebels.

Alabama vs. Arkansas Prediction

Ken Pomeroy rates the teams more highly than their NET ranking. KenPOM has the Crimson Tide at No. 18 and Arkansas at No. 22.

The key for Alabama is it will have to play solid defense throughout. Spacing and distribution will be important on offense. The Razorbacks are long and open threes will not be as plentiful for the Tide as they were in Oxford. The Hogs like to run and which team wins the sprints from Tide missed threes will have an advantage. For Arkansas, guard JD Notae leads the SEC in scoring at 19.1 points per game. He likes to penetrate but can score from anywhere. Keeping the Hogs’ Jaylin Williams off the glass is another key for the Tide.

Overall Arkansas is a balanced team that does not get rattled. They play tough defense and the Tide cannot afford to be loose with the ball.

Alabama has more players that can explode offensively. As long as it keeps fouls and turnovers down, the Tide should prevail in a tight game.

Game Prediction: Alabama Crimson Tide 78 – Arkansas 76
