After a 113-88 blowout win over the BYU Cougars on Thursday night, the Alabama Crimson Tide spent Friday getting ready for their toughest task of the season: a matchup with the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils in the East Region finale of the Elite Eight in the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

No. 2 seed Alabama (28-8 overall) and No. 1 seed Duke (34-3) will tip off at 7:49 p.m. CT Saturday night from Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. The game will be televised on TBS and truTV.

In the Crimson Tide's rout of BYU, Alabama made a March Madness record 25 3-pointers, with Mark Sears scoring 34 points on 10-of-16 shooting from beyond the arc.
