Alabama's men's basketball will be banged up going into Tuesday night against Ole Miss, but the Tide should have most of its players available.

Alabama's leading scorer earned SEC Player of the Week for the week following two big performances on the road in the Southeastern Conference.

Alabama Men's Basketball rose in the latest AP Poll, with the Crimson Tide's cross-state rival being named the top team in the country.

Following Auburn's 66-63 win against South Carolina on Saturday, Auburn's star player, Johni Broome, underwent an MRI on his ankle, where he was diagnosed with a non-surgical sprained ankle.

Aaliyah Nye also shone, making seven threes for the third time this season, tying her for the NCAA lead in games with seven or more three pointers.

The Crimson Tide closed its first road trip in the SEC with a strong victory over Texas A&M to conclude a two-game road trip.

Midway through the second half of Saturday's 66-63 victory over South Carolina, Auburn's standout forward leaves the game due to a significant ankle injury.

"His knees have been bothering him still," said Oats. "If we can get his knees right, he's going to be a really good player in this program."

With this loss, the Crimson Tide's SEC record now stands at 2-1, while their overall season record is 15-2.

"If we don't do our work early, we're going to be in big trouble," said Curry about the importance of a strong start.
