Alabama vs. Arkansas Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

SEC Men's Basketball action continues on Saturday when head coach John Calipari's Arkansas Razorbacks (14-8, 3-6 SEC) host the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide (19-3, 8-1 SEC).

Unlike most other SEC teams, Alabama has come through the conference schedule relatively unscathed so far. That said, they have three straight games against unranked teams before ending the season with seven consecutive games against ranked opponents, including No. 1 Auburn twice.

Arkansas, on the other hand, has struggled in the nation's toughest conference. The Razorbacks have won consecutive games against then-No. 12 Kentucky and unranked Texas, but it will be a challenge for them to fully overcome the five-game losing streak that kicked off their SEC schedule.
