NIT Second Round Game Thread: Alabama vs. Miami

It's a bright and early start for the Crimson Tide as they take on the second-seeded Miami Hurricanes with the chance to move on to the Quarterfinals of the NIT on the line. Interim coach John Brannen will try to keep the Tide rolling after the blowout win over Illinois on Tuesday night. Levi Randolph and Rodney Cooper would surely like to end their collegiate careers with a run to New York and an appearance in Madison Square Garden, but it won't be an easy road through sunny south Florida.

The game tips at 10:00 AM CDT on ESPN, so grab a cup of coffee and get ready for some Alabama basketball.
