The Alabama men’s basketball will be the No. 9 seed in the SEC Basketball Tournament.

And for a second game in a row, the Crimson Tide (17-14, 8-10 SEC) will face No. 8 Texas A&M in the first game (noon CT) on Thursday, March 8 -- the second day of the league tournament.

Alabama and Texas A&M concluded the 2017-18 regular season earlier on Saturday as the Aggies extended the Tide’s losing streak to five games in a 68-66 victory in College Station, Texas.

Should Alabama win the rubber match between the two teams, the Tide would face No. 1 seed Auburn on the third day for another noon tip-off. This contest, however, would air on ESPN.

UA’s first and only guaranteed game will air on the SEC Network from St. Louis.
