Game notes
— Alabama made a scheduling change this week as its game against No. 6 Houston was canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Cougars’ basketball program. Instead, the Tide will host Western Kentucky on Saturday at 1 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.
— Alabama beat Furman 81-73 inside of Coleman Coliseum as part of last year’s Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. Jaden Shackelford led the Tide with 25 points off the bench.
— Alabama recorded a season-best 17 steals in its 64-56 loss to Clemson over the weekend. Starting center Jordan Bruner had a career-best five swipes in the contest. The last time an Alabama team had more than 15 steals in a game came on Feb. 20, 2013 when it recorded 18 steals against Mississippi State.
— Furman has been impressive over its first six games, outscoring its opponents by 24.2 points per game, while shooting 50 percent from the floor and 33.1 percent from 3-point range.
— Furman returns four starters from its 2019-20 team that posted a 25-7 record and finished second in the Southern Conference with a 15-3 mark in league play. The Paladins were tabbed to win the SoCon in preseason polling of the league’s media and were picked second by the league’s coaches.
