Kristen Saban is famous in Tuscaloosa for her fandom for the Alabama Crimson Tide sports. She has been a regular at the Crimson Tide football games due to her dad Nick Saban. Now that the football season is over and won't start until this fall, she has shifted her focus on college basketball.
Kristen took to X to ask fans if someone could take her to an Alabama basketball game with them. She also expressed willingness to buy snacks for the person who volunteers for the task. Her post began a conversation among the fans with many expressing their surprise that Coach Saban's daughter couldn't get tickets.
Here is what the former Alabama Crimson Tide football head coach Nick Saban's daughter Kristen Saban asked the fans about the basketball games.
After the game ended, she extended the offer for the upcoming SEC tournament in Nashville, Georgia. The Crimson Tide will take to the court on March 16 at the Bridgestone Arena.
Fans expressed their surprise at the request due to her connection with Alabama. Some locals even extended an invitation to host her in the Bulldogs country. Here are a few reactions.
