How to watch Alabama basketball's Friday night game against Arkansas State

Alabama basketball plays its second game of the season on Friday night back at home in Coleman Coliseum against Arkansas State. The Crimson Tide comes in at 1-0 following a blowout win over UNC Asheville on Monday night.

The Red Wolves also enter the game 1-0 following a season opening win over Akron. Arkansas State is coached by former Nate Oats assistant Bryan Hodgson. This is Hodgson's second season as a head coach after leading his team to a 4th place finish in the Sun Belt in year one. Arkansas State upset top-seeded Appalachian State in the Sun Belt tournament before losing to James Madison in the conference championship.

Arkansas State plays a similar style to Alabama. They will push the pace and put up a lot of shots from deep. Oats has a lot of respect for Hodgson and this Red Wolves team. Oats said on Thursday "if we play bad, we're gonna lose."
