Alabama Basketball’s Biggest Test Yet? Nate Oats on Facing No. 1 Arizona | Nate Oats on TNR Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

Alabama Men’s Basketball Head Coach Nate Oats joins The Next Round for an in-depth conversation on all things Crimson Tide hoops as the season heats up 🏀🐘

In this interview, Coach Oats breaks down Alabama basketball from the inside out — starting with the Tide’s rebounding numbers. The stats look strong on paper, but do they really tell the full story? Oats gives honest insight into what he’s seeing on film, where Alabama must improve, and what truly matters when it comes to winning on the glass in the SEC and beyond.

We also look ahead to the next massive test on Alabama’s brutal non-conference schedule: a marquee showdown in Birmingham against No. 1 Arizona. What makes the Wildcats so dangerous? How does this matchup prepare the Tide for SEC play and March? And what has Coach Oats liked most about his team so far?

If you’re an Alabama basketball fan, a college hoops junkie, or someone following the NCAA Basketball national title race, this is a must-watch conversation.

Joel Klatt: Indiana’s Rise, Alabama’s Struggles, Irish OUT, & How Many CFP Teams Can Win It All? Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for an in-depth breakdown of a wild weekend in college football and the ripple effects across the College Football Playoff landscape. We react to Indiana taking down Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game to earn the #1 seed in the CFP, and Joel shares his thoughts on just how real the Hoosiers’ title chances might be.

We also dive into a fascinating comparison: how similar are Curt Cignetti and Nick Saban personality-wise? Plus, what’s really going on with Alabama’s offense, how much that puts pressure on an elite Crimson Tide defense, and whether Bama can still make a serious run.

Joel weighs in on the big-picture question everyone’s asking: how many teams in the College Football Playoff can realistically win the national championship? We discuss Notre Dame being dropped from the playoff at the last minute, the coaching carousel news of Matt Campbell leaving Iowa State for Penn State, and even touch on the surprising headline of 44-year-old Phillip Rivers returning to the NFL.

If you’re a fan of college football analysis, CFP debate, SEC and Big Ten coverage, and insight from one of the top voices in the sport, this episode is a must-watch.
