After a big win against St. John's (#5 at the time), the Tide fell to the previous #1-ranked Purdue Boilermakers, 76-70.

The Tide needs to rebound (literally) to make sure they beat the 14th-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini at 8:00 pm tomorrow night.

Nothing beats listening to the Crimson Tide network announcers broadcast the game, and a slight change will happen on Wednesday night.

"Hey, Coach" with Kalen DeBoer is on the usual home for Tide Men's basketball, 95.3 The Bear.

So, you can listen to the Alabama vs. Illinois game on 101.7 FM (101.7 The River) starting at 7:00 pm.

Pregame at 7:00 pm, and the tip is at 8:00 pm.

Labaron Philon Jr. leads the team with an average of nearly 20 points a game.

Kylan Boswell is the leading scorer for the Fighting Illini with 18.5 points per game.

Illinois has a history of winning basketball games, and it is critical for us to be our best on Wednesday night on the road.
