Alabama's men's basketball team advanced to the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32 on Thursday with an 86-83 win over No. 8-seed Virginia Tech.

With the first-round victory, the No. 9-seed Crimson Tide (20-15) will next face No. 1-seed Villanova (31-4) on Saturday, March 17, in Pittsburgh.

The game will tip off at 11:10 a.m. CT and air on CBS, it was announced Thursday night.

Alabama-Villanova will be the first of eight Saturday games, and Duke-Rhode Island will air on CBS after the Crimson Tide and Wildcats conclude.

A crew of Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller, Dan Bonner and Dana Jacobson will once again be on the broadcast, only this time for CBS instead of TNT.

Its win over the Hokies was the first NCAA Tournament win for the Tide since the 2005-06 season when it also advanced to the second round. Should Alabama defeat Villanova, it will advance to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 2003-04, when it played in the Elite Eight.
