If someone said one year ago that the Alabama men's basketball program would finish the season at a higher spot in the AP Poll than the Crimson Tide football program (in its respective AP Poll), most would call that person crazy.

Alabama football still shined as it made the College Football Playoff for the eighth time in 10 seasons, while also finishing with a stellar No. 5 spot in the AP Poll. But Alabama's basketball program finished at No. 3 in its respective AP Poll after a 25-12 season that concluded with its first NCAA Tournament Final Four appearance in school history.

A strong argument can be made that this is the most anticipated season in the history of Tide Hoops. Head coach Nate Oats and his staff, several returning players, including First Team All-SEC point guard Mark Sears, multiple experienced transfers and highly touted incoming freshmen all give Alabama realistic expectations to get two more wins than last season's NCAA Tournament to claim the school's first-ever National Title.

Nevertheless, this won't be an easy task, as after months of waiting on the edge of our seats, the Crimson Tide's schedule against the very challenging Southeastern Conference was revealed on Tuesday.

Alabama's 2024-25 SEC Schedule:

Jan. 4 - vs. Oklahoma
Jan. 7/8 - at South Carolina
Jan. 11 - at Texas A&M

In addition to games against the SEC, which sent eight teams (tied with the Big 12) to last season's NCAA Tournament, Alabama has scheduled every non-conference contest throughout the offseason. A few of these teams will definitely be an obstacle for the Crimson Tide as it strives for perhaps the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.
