Tipoff Time, TV, and Point Spread for Alabama vs Villanova in NCAA Tournament
Alabama picked up its first NCAA Tournament win in more than 10 years when it knocked off Virginia Tech, 86-83, in the first round.
With the victory, the Tide advances to the second round to face No. 1 seed Villanova on Saturday. The NCAA already set second round starting times and this showdown will lead off the day. The tipoff time for Bama-Nova is set for 11:10 a.m. and CBS will televise the game.
Oddsmakers think Villanova could make easy work of Avery Johnson's squad. The point spread opened at 11 points in favor of the Wildcats, which is the largest margin of the day. If Alabama can find a way to pull the upset, it would give the program its 9th trip to the Sweet Sixteen all-time. The last trip to the second weekend came back in 2004.
The game will be carried on 95.3 the Bear in Tuscaloosa with pregame coverage beginning at 10 a.m.
