FIRST HALF

Arkansas 7, Alabama 5 (15:53): Noah Clowney hit the Tide’s first shot of the game, a three-pointer, but the team is 0-for-5 since. Arkansas is out-rebounding Alabama, 6-1, and rebounding had been slipping in recent games, Nate Oats noted during his pregame radio interview. The Tide spent much of the first two months of the season in the top three nationally in rebounding margin but have fallen to No. 12 at plus-8.3.

PREGAME

— “Our guys aren’t going to play scared,” Nate Oats said during his pregame CTSN radio interview. Oats noted how Alabama has experience playing in a tough road environment at Houston this season.

— No changes to Alabama’s starting lineup, which has settled into Jaden Bradley, Mark Sears, Brandon Miller, Noah Clowney and Charles Bediako.
