Alabama’s Sweet 16 game against San Diego State will tip off at 5:30 p.m. CT Friday in Louisville, CBS announced Sunday evening.
The game in the KFC Yum! Center will air on TBS with Ian Eagle, Jim Spanarkel, and Evan Washburn on the call. Louisville is in the Eastern time zone, meaning the game will tip off at 6:30 p.m. ET locally and will be followed by Princeton and Creighton.
Alabama is the No. 1 seed in the South region, which has seen its Nos. 2 through 4 seeds lose already in the first two rounds. San Diego State is the region’s No. 5 seed, Creighton is No. 6 and Princeton is No. 15.
The Tide, the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, will have a chance to advance to the program’s second-ever Elite Eight. That game would take place Sunday in Louisville at either 1 p.m. CT or 3:55 p.m. CT, with CBS set to announce its Sunday game assignments after the conclusion of Friday’s Sweet 16 games. The Midwest regional final in Kansas City is the other Elite Eight game scheduled for Sunday.
Alabama is between a 6.5 and 7.5-point favorite on major sports books over San Diego State on Friday night.
