A sudden bout of inclement weather forced organizers to postpone the Alabama Crimson Tide’s NCAA Tournament showdown with USC Upstate, pushing the contest back from its original 6 p.m. CT slot on May 30 to a 7:36 p.m. CT start.
Earlier Regional Game Remains on Schedule
The preceding matchup in the Tuscaloosa Regional between Oklahoma State and Alabama State proceeded without interruption, allowing fans to enjoy a full slate of action earlier in the day.
Both teams will now take the court under the revised timing, with the game streamed live on ESPN+ for viewers across the country.
What the Delay Means for the Tournament Bracket
The rescheduling does not alter the overall structure of the regional bracket, but it adds a brief pause before the next set of contests, giving coaches and players a short window to adjust preparations.
Fans who had planned to tune in at the original time can still catch the action online, as ESPN+ will carry the delayed broadcast without requiring additional subscriptions.
