• Alabama is 9-11 against Quadrant 1 (3-8) and Quadrant 2 (6-3) opponents this year (as of 3/8). The nine wins against Q1 and Q2 teams ranks sixth-best in the SEC. The Crimson Tide trails only LSU (16-5), Kentucky (14-5), Tennessee (14-3), Auburn (13-9) and Mississippi State (12-9). Furthermore, Alabama’s season finale at Arkansas is a Quadrant 1 opponent.
• Senior Donta Hall is 16 points shy of becoming just the fifth player in program history with at least 1,000 points, 800 rebounds and 200 blocks. Entering Saturday’s regular season finale, Hall has compiled 984 points, 809 career rebounds and 225 career blocks in his career. Should he reach the mark, the Luverne, Ala., native will join Leon Douglas (1,909 points, 1,279 rebounds and 235 blocks), Robert Horry (1,591 points, 929 rebounds and 286 blocks), Jermareo Davidson (1,268 points, 918 rebounds and 221 blocks) and JaMychal Green (1,656 points, 912 rebounds and 212 blocks)as the only players in program history to achieve the feat.
• Tonight’s match-up features two of the most exciting big men in the SEC in Hall and Daniel Gafford. Both rank among the league’s top dunkers (Gafford has 78 this season and 153 in his career, while Hall has 59 on the year and 186 in his career), while the duo also ranks among the league leaders in rebounding and blocked shots.
• Alabama will next begin postseason play when it travels to Nashville, Tenn., for the 2019 SEC Tournament which will be played in Bridgestone Arena. It has been determined that the Crimson Tide will play on Thursday, however, the team’s seed and opponent will be decided following Saturday’s contest

Alabama is 9-11 against Quadrant 1 (3-8) and Quadrant 2 (6-3) opponents this year. The nine wins against Q1 and Q2 teams ranks sixth-best in the SEC. The Crimson Tide trails only LSU (16-5), Kentucky (14-5), Tennessee (14-3), Auburn (13-9) and Mississippi State (12-9) in combined Q1 and Q2 victories. Alabama ranks ahead of Florida (7-11), Ole Miss (7-11) and South Carolina (8-13) in the category. Furthermore, The Tide’s six Q2 victories are tied for second-best in the SEC.
• Alabama ranks as one of the better defensive teams in SEC play. Entering Tuesday night’s contest, the Crimson Tide leads the league in three-point field goal percentage defense at 31.2 percent. Additionally, Alabama is fourth in field goal percentage defense(43.4 percent)and sixth in scoring defense(71.6) against conference opponents.
• Alabama owns a 3-2 record against AP Top-25 opponents this season, with all three victories coming during the month of January. Despite the setback, the Tide ranks third in the conference with three top-25 victories this season and winning percentage vs. ranked opponents (.600). Only Kentucky (5-3, .625) and LSU (4-2, .667) rank ahead of UA in both categories. On the season, Alabama has knocked off then-No. 22/21 Mississippi State, 83-79, on Jan. 29, then-No. 13 Kentucky (77-75) on Jan. 5 and then-No. 20 Ole Miss (74-53) on Jan. 22.• Head coach Avery Johnson boasts a record of 14-12 when playing teams ranked in the Associated Press Top-25, including a 3-2 record this season. Johnson had guided the Crimson Tide to a seven-game home winning streak over AP Top-25 competition prior to last Saturday’s loss to then-No. 13 LSU. Despite the setback, the Tide has recorded nine wins in the last 14 overall games played against ranked opponents. His record is even more impressive considering the Tide had lost 21 consecutive games against ranked opponents prior to his arrival. .
• The Alabama reserves have been a strength of this year’s team, averaging nearly 25 points per contest (24.7) entering the contest at Arkansas. For the year, the Crimson Tide bench has been outscored just five times and is outscoring its counterparts by nearly seven points per contest (24.7-17.8).

Don’t worry, Hogs. I fully expect us to roll over and play dead for you this evening. Our Dance ticket could very well be on the line so we will sleepwalk through the game. It’s a patented Avery trademark: the bigger the game, the worse they choke. Please do us a favor and keep that mother fricker in Fayetteville.
Or better yet, send him home to LA as the replacement for Will Wade.

good luck Tide.

Alabama's going to fold. I imagine with Arkansas playing at home, they'll shoot well. Just drive the lanes and kick it out, and they'll for sure be wide open man to knock down the 3. If Arkansas is active with their hands, Bama will have plenty of turnovers for Arkansas to score off of in transition.

I never even realized it, but Avery has never won the last game in the regular season. He'll be 0-4 after tonight.

Congrats on the victory tonight Hogs.

I’m hoping for a mercy killing that puts Greg Byrne one step closer to telling Avery to hit the bricks.

Buckle up for a bumpy ride. Bama has 18 winning seasons out of the past 19 years so that is not bad.
The program is hung in neutral and stuck with a average coach with a 8 million dollar buyout. What a collection of DA people within the AD/BOT of the U of A. It's not like anybody was going to steal Avery Johnson from The Tide.
