TV announcers, start time for Alabama basketball vs Florida Gators

The Alabama Crimson Tide are set for a rare Sunday game in SEC regular-season play this weekend when they face coach Todd Golden's Florida Gators at O'Connell Center in Gainesville.

Alabama (14-6 overall, 4-3 conference) used a 16-2 run in the second half of a 90-64 win over the Missouri Tigers on Tuesday at Coleman Coliseum, one game after a disappointing home loss to the Tennessee Volunteers.

Latrell Wrightsell Jr. scored a game-high 21 points, all on 3-pointers, to power the Crimson Tide past Missouri. Labaron Philon added 18 points and with Charles Bediako in the starting lineup, the 7-foot center scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds in 18 minutes.

Alabama led for most of the night and never trailed after Wrightsell's 3-pointer with 7:37 to play in the first half.

Florida (15-6, 6-2) bounced back from a 76-67 upset loss to Auburn last Saturday by routing South Carolina, 95-48, in Columbia on Wednesday. Rueben Chinyehu had 14 points and 11 rebounds for a double-double, and Thomas Haugh scored a game-high 18 points in the Gators' win.

Alabama is ranked No. 23 in this week's USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 poll; Florida is ranked No. 19 in the AP poll and No. 21 in the Coaches Poll.
