TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama head coach Nate Oats provided the latest updates on three injured Crimson Tide players ahead of his team’s top-15 matchup against No. 1 Arizona.

“I think Keitenn and Taylor both practiced, pretty much everything they could do,” Oats said. “I think Taylor looks great. As long as Keitenn doesn’t have any setbacks, I anticipate him playing.

“Holloway, very limited practice yesterday. We’ll see how he feels this morning, see what he can do today. That’s gonna have to probably end up being a game-time, game-day decision to see how his wrist is feeling.

“Other than that, we should be good to go.”

Taylor Bol Bowen has been dealing with back spasms and missed the last game against UTSA. The Florida State transfer had played in Alabama’s first eight previous games, and the starting forward was averaging 10.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for the Crimson Tide.

Keitenn Bristow (ankle) has missed six games this season, his first at Alabama, and has not played since the UNLV game in Vegas. The Tarleton State transfer averaged 6.7 points and 7.3 rebounds in his three games played, pulling down 11 rebounds against Gonzaga.

Aden Holloway (wrist) hasn’t played since the Maryland game in Las Vegas. The second-year guard is Alabama’s second-leading scorer, averaging 18.2 points per game. Holloway also adds 4.3 assists and 2.8 rebounds per outing while shooting 42.9% from 3-point range.

Alabama-Arizona is set for Saturday, Dec. 13, in Birmingham at 8:30 p.m. CT (on ESPN).
