Alright college hoops fans, if you missed the clash between No. 11 Alabama and No. 8 Illinois back on November 19th, 2025, don't fret! Fox College Hoops has you covered with a highlight reel showcasing the best moments from what looked like a real barnburner.

Alabama vs. Illinois: Upset Alert?! Shocking Turn ...

While I didn’t get to see the whole game live (apparently I was stuck in a never-ending grocery line – the perils of pre-Thanksgiving shopping!), the snippets Fox is offering give a good sense of the intensity. You can tell both teams came ready to play. These highlight packages are great, aren't they? They give you just enough to feel like you were almost there.

Andrej Stojaković's monstrous fastbreak dunk definitely stands out. The kid can fly! Illinois seemed to be playing with some serious confidence in that moment. It's plays like that that can really swing momentum in a tight game. I mean, who doesn't love a good posterizer?

But Alabama wasn't just going to roll over, of course. The highlights also show some impressive plays from the Crimson Tide. You can see glimpses of the strategic plays and the aggressive defense that Alabama are known for.

Beyond this game, the highlights from other matchups – No. 4 Arizona Wildcats vs. No. 3 UConn Huskies, and Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs. No. 7 Michigan Wolverines – also look like must-sees. Jaden Bradley's shifty layup to seal the upset for Arizona against UConn? Sounds like a game-winner worth checking out. And Aday Mara's thunderous put-back dunk for Michigan... those big men always bring the energy.

It's interesting to see these snippets all together. It paints a picture of the early season landscape in college basketball. You get a sense of which teams are hitting their stride, and which players are poised to have breakout years. I'm personally excited to see how the rest of the season unfolds, especially with these teams in the mix.

So, if you're looking for a quick dose of college basketball action, head over to Fox College Hoops and check out these highlights. It's a great way to catch up on what you missed and get hyped for the rest of the season. And hey, maybe you'll even discover your new favorite player or team! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find the full game replay - because a monstrous dunk like Stojaković's deserves a second, third, and probably fourth viewing.
