TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama will return to Tuscaloosa where it begins a two-game homestand on Saturday afternoon when it welcomes the LSU Tigers. It will be the first of two meetings between the common rivals, as the Tide plays the return game in Baton Rouge, La., on Feb. 17 at 8 p.m. CT.
Most recently, Alabama dropped its second straight game and lost for the fourth time in its last five contests when the Tide fell at Auburn, 83-77, last Tuesday night. Senior guard Retin Obasohan led the Crimson Tide with a career-high 27 points in the losing effort.
