Alabama men's basketball has played two games per week, one typically on Tuesday or Wednesday and the other being on Saturday. But Oats and company's matchup with Arkansas isn't until Saturday, meaning the Crimson Tide is on a bit of a bye week.

Alabama basketball reached its week off after beating Georgia Saturday, and won’t play again until it faces Arkansas this coming Saturday. As the Crimson Tide sits at No. 3 in the nation, head coach Nate Oats said he is taking a little bit easy on his team.

After a ruptured Achilles tendon against Oregon in November, Latrell Wrightsell Jr.'s time playing for Alabama basketball this season came to an end.
