How to see, listen to no. 6 in Alabama basketball at North Dakota

On By Littum

No. 6 Alabama will make a rare road trip to a mid-major opponent tonight as the Crimson Tide will face North Dakota in a homecoming game for Grant Nelson.

Nelson, Alabama’s second leading scorer, is originally from Devils Lake, North Dakota and spent his first three seasons of college basketball playing for North Dakota State. North Dakota was his only other offer out of high school.

Alabama head coach Nate Oats scheduled the game for Nelson after he announced his return for his final year of eligibility. Now Nelson will be able to play in front of his family and friends at home, just an hour and a half from his hometown.

The game is part of a 2-to-1 series in which North Dakota will play Alabama in Tuscaloosa during the 2025-26 and 2027-28 seasons.

Alabama has started the season 8-2 while playing one of the toughest schedules in the country. North Dakota, on the other hand, has had a rough start to the 2024-25 season, currently sitting at 4-8 and ranked outside the top-300 in KenPom entering tonight’s game.

The game will tip off at 8:00 PM CT and will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network.
