On Sunday in Cleveland, OH, two teams are 40 minutes away from playing in the Sweet 16 and two wins away from the Final Four.
But what time will the Alabama Crimson Tide and St. Mary’s Gaels play each other at Rocket Arena? Late Friday night, an official tipoff time was announced for Sunday afternoon at 5:10 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on TNT.
This will be the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
In first round action, Alabama defeated Robert Morris 90-81 with Mark Sears leading Alabama in scoring with 22 points. St. Mary’s did their part in stopping an all-SEC showdown in the second round with a 59-56 victory over Vanderbilt on Friday afternoon.
The Crimson Tide will be seeing a school that could be considered a second-round mainstay in the NCAA Tournament. the Gaels have reached the second round in five of their last seven tournaments. Last season these two teams could’ve met in the second round as well, but St. Mary’s lost to Grand Canyon in the first round.
