After the tough loss to the Oregon Ducks last Monday, the Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team took a few days off for some much-needed rest for the holidays. While the football team will draw the overwhelming majority of the attention this week, the basketball team will look to position itself for a legitimate run at the NCAA Tournament in 2016 by rounding out non-conference play with a pair of wins. The Tide will host both the Jacksonville State Gamecocks (4-10) and the Norfolk State Spartans (5-8) in Tuscaloosa this week.
