The Sweet 16 continues tonight with a clash between the top-ranked Michigan team and No. 4 ranked Alabama.
Michigan faces a significant challenge as they gear up to meet Alabama, known for being one of the strongest offensive teams in the nation.
The Wolverines secured a decisive 95-72 victory against St. Louis, showcasing their ability to control the pace, minimize errors, and execute well both on defense and in half-court play. This strategy has proven effective so far, but the stakes rise against an Alabama squad that prefers a fast-paced game and scores heavily.
Alabama tops the charts in 3-pointers both attempted and made per game, which means they’ll need to keep that momentum going to keep the match competitive.
Here’s what you need to know for the game:
- When: March 27th, 7:35 PM ET
- Where: United Center, Chicago, Illinois
- Channel: TBS/True TV
- Streaming: Sling TV (1-day pass)
The victor will advance to the Elite Eight and will go on to face either No. 6 Tennessee or No. 2 Iowa State later this weekend.
