Alabama Basketball Announces Nonconference Schedule

The nonconference schedule is set in stone with 69 days until the Crimson Tide tips off in Coleman Coliseum.

The Alabama basketball program has been a force to be reckoned with under head coach Nate Oats. In four seasons the Tide has claimed four SEC championships, appeared in two NCAA Tournaments and recruited at the highest level.

Part of the formula for Oats and the Tide has been challenging itself early in the season by way of a challenging non-conference schedule.

That trend continues as Alabama Athletics announced its 2023-24 non-conference schedule is locked into place. 

The Crimson Tide will open with four straight home games in November before heading to Florida for the Emerald Coast Classic over Thanksgiving break.

Highlights include a home matchup with Clemson in the ACC/SEC Challenge, a true road game at Creighton and three neutral site games with Purdue, Arizona and Liberty.

Plan accordingly 🗓️
