| |  | ALABAMA: The Crimson Tide have been on the NCAA Tournament bubble the past few seasons, missing out on the tourney each time. However, there is reason for optimism for the team this season, and SG Levi Randolph (9.6 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 35% threes) and SF Shannon Hale (8.8 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 35% threes) are a talented backcourt duo, as both guys are able to score in bunches. They do a great job of keeping pressure on the defense, as they are always looking to push the pace. The backcourt will be a strength of this team, as incoming freshmen like PG Justin Coleman and SG Devin Mitchell have the potential to contribute heavily this season. The Tide will have to figure out how to win outside of Tuscaloosa, as they did not win a road or neutral-site game last season, going 0-15 SU. | | IOWA ST: The Cyclones have continued to advance deeper in the NCAA Tournament under head coach Fred Hoiberg, and they reached the Sweet 16 last year before falling eventual champion UConn. PF Georges Niang (16.7 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 3.6 APG) is one of the most versatile players in college basketball. He will play the four-spot for Iowa State, but he will also bring the ball up the court, and even shoot it from the outside. He is coming off a broken foot suffered last season, but he is now fully healthy and capable of being the best player in the Big 12. PF Dustin Hogue (11.6 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 57% FG) does everything needed for the Cyclones, and is the leading returning rebounder in the Big 12. If he is able to expand his offensive game to the perimeter, then the Cyclones could have the most versatile frontcourt in the Big 12. Hoiberg has done a tremendous job of meshing returning veterans with incoming transfers, and he will look to do that once again. SG Bryce Dejean-Jones (UNLV) and PF Jameel McKay (Marquette) are two more transfers that will contribute immediately, but McKay is not eligible for the first nine games of the season. SG Naz Long (7.1 PPG, 40% threes) and heady PG Monte Morris (6.8 PPG, 3.7 APG and 2.6 RPG) will play a big role in how good the Cyclones can be this season. |

*Alabama-Iowa St. Preview* ==========================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Alabama (3-0) at Iowa State (2-0), 9:30 p.m. EDT
Although it has received few contributions from the reserves, Iowa State is looking for its depth becomes more of an asset in its first back-to-back games of the season.
With two potentially valuable rotation players back, the 14th-ranked Cyclones take on undefeated Alabama on Monday night in the opener of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City.
The Cyclones are on the verge of their third straight 3-0 start, averaging 87.0 points and 50.0 percent shooting in winning their first two by a combined 34 points.
Iowa State starters, however, have accounted for 165 of the team's 174 points after the bench totaled five in last Monday's 81-58 home win over Georgia State.
Sophomore Monte Morris led five starters in double figures with 19 points, nine assists and no turnovers, while Naz Long scored 17. However, Georges Niang scored 10 and shot 3 of 12 after finishing with a career-high 30 points in the opener.
The Cyclones will face Arizona State or Maryland on Tuesday after their matchup with the Crimson Tide (3-0).
Abdel Nader and Matt Thomas may be able to help after serving two-game suspensions following their arrests for drunk driving in the offseason. Nader redshirted last season after transferring from Northern Illinois, while Thomas averaged 5.5 points in 36 games as a freshman.
"Both kept themselves in shape and kept themselves ready when they were missing those contests," coach Fred Hoiberg said. "It's good to have them back on board and hopefully they take advantage of their opportunities."
The Cyclones look to extend a 10-game winning streak against unranked opponents at neutral sites. They improved to 4-5 all-time at the Sprint Center after taking three in a row there in March, including the Big 12 title game.
After allowing Oakland to shoot 51.8 percent in its opener, Iowa State limited the Panthers to 39.1 from the floor. Georgia State stars R.J. Hunter and Ryann Harrow were a combined 14 of 42.
Alabama didn't miss a shot from the field until around the 14-minute mark of Thursday's 81-67 win over Southern Miss. The Tide shot 57.1 percent overall and 9 of 19 from 3-point range.
Levi Randolph made his first six shots on the way to 23 points, while Ricky Tarrant added 18 and Shannon Hale had his first career double-double with 12 and 11 boards.
Randolph, a senior guard, is averaging team highs of 19.0 points and 7.7 rebounds along with 60.7 percent shooting.
Alabama hasn't scored fewer than 80 while winning its first three at home by an average of 16.0 points.
"I don't think we've come close to scratching the surface of how good we can be," coach Anthony Grant said. "So we'll take it one game at a time and try to continue to get better."
The Tide beat the Cyclones 83-68 in their only meeting Dec. 23, 2007 in Las Vegas, but they've dropped 17 in a row against ranked opponents.
