No. 2 seed Alabama men’s basketball will face No. 6 seed BYU in the Sweet 16 at 6:10 p.m. CT on Thursday in Newark, New Jersey, CBS announced for the upcoming March Madness slate.

The game will be broadcast on CBS. Brian Anderson, Jim Jackson and Allie LaForce will be on the call.

The Crimson Tide is fresh off a win over No. 7 seed Saint Mary’s in the Round of 32. Meanwhile, the Cougars upset No. 3 seed Wisconsin.

Alabama is returning to the Sweet 16 for the third consecutive season under coach Nate Oats and the fourth time in the past five seasons. BYU is making its way back to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2011.

Alabama will look to emerge from the second weekend for the second season in a row. A year ago, the Crimson Tide took down a No. 1 seed in UNC and then No. 6 seed Clemson to reach the program’s first Final Four. Now, Alabama might have to go in reverse order to return to college basketball’s biggest stage. First up is No. 6 seed BYU and a matchup with No. 1 seed Duke could be next.
