With all eyes on the Alabama football team this week, the Crimson Tide basketball squad has been a bit overlooked. However, Avery Johnson's group will be gearing up for a big time game of their own on Thursday night, as the Tide begin SEC play in Oxford against the Ole Miss Rebels (10-3, 0-1 SEC). Ole Miss opened up conference play this past Saturday, and it didn't end well for the Rebels, as they got hammered by the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington. They have had a solid season thus far, as far as results are concerned, losing only twice in non-conference play.
