No. 1 overall seed Alabama continues its quest for the Final Four when it meets San Diego State on Friday, March 24 in the NCAA tournament’s Sweet 16 round. The game will be live streamed on Sling, which offers half off the first month.

The Tide was expected to be in the Sweet 16 as the overall top seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Few thought the teams standing between the Crimson Tide and a trip to the Final Four would be No. 5 seed San Diego State, sixth-seeded Creighton and 15th-seeded Princeton.

A win over Alabama (31-5) could elevate any of those schools to the status of March Madness legend. Coach Nate Oats understands the pressure his team faces when it faces San Diego State Friday night as it seeks its first Elite Eight berth since 2004.

San Diego State (29-6) has been ranked in the AP Top 25 most of the season and enters with 12 wins in 13 games, including the past six. The Mountain West champions Aztecs have held their own against Power Five schools, beating Stanford and Ohio State before falling to Arizona and Arkansas during a challenging November slate that helped prepare them for this stage.

They’ve averaged nearly 66 points per game during their current streak — which includes a 23-point, second-round rout of No. 13 seed Furman — while holding five of six opponents under 50 points. SDSU faces a tall task against an Alabama squad averaging 82.3 points per game.

Alabama and San Diego State play in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament at 5:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. ET) on Friday, March 24.
