Alabama has been a football school for 100 years. Can Nate Oats make it a basketball school, too? Or has he already done it? An in-depth look.

The Alabama Crimson Tide were on the road Saturday. There, they fended off the Arkansas Razorbacks as they fought to hold on and avoid an upset. However, head coach Nate Oats was frustrated that it got close enough to be a concern at the end.

A No. 1 ranking should have "zero effect" on Alabama basketball, per Nate Oats. Nick Saban's words are helping the Tide stay in check another week.
