BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Alabama men's basketball team will play home-and-home conference games against Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri and Vanderbilt, as the Southeastern Conference announced each school's league opponents for the 2020 season on Wednesday.           

In addition to the home-and-home contests, the Crimson Tide will play home games against Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas A&M, with road games that include Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Ole Miss. Dates and times for the 2020 conference schedule will be announced at a later date.

Looks like a tough schedule this year. RTR!

Some good stuff out there about Tide basketball.


Observations from watching a practice by author in open practice:

The freshmen guards and wings looked as prepared for a challenge as the veterans. They were zipping through the drills with intensity and confidence.
Jaylen Forbes and Juwan Gary showcased some defensive prowess.
Jahvon Quinerly was easily the quickest player on the court. He is similar in quickness and smoothness to Kira Lewis. He may not have the 94-feet speed of Kira but few college basketball players do.
The biggest surprises were the physiques of Javian Davis-Fleming and Alex Reese. Both young men have re-shaped their bodies into leaner and more muscled builds. Oats commented on Fleming,

John Petty summed up the new Alabama Crimson Tide by saying, “the style of play is just totally different from last year.” Those are words Alabama basketball fans love to hear.

I'm still waiting to hear some comments about FT shooting practice.

I'm still waiting to hear some comments about FT shooting practice. 

Buffalo was 245th out of 351 last year.  Don't hold your breath.

Of course, we were a putrid 314th.

Well the hard nosed workouts and moving up to 245th in FT's would be a world better. RTR!

It still would be hard to celebrate breaking the top 250 teams.

[ricky023]

Well what if we hit 85% of our FT's? Would that help? RTR!

Hey, at least that would show improvement.

The 2019-2020 schedule has not been finalized but this is what we know so far. It is shaping up to get a very challenging schedule.

In addition to the SEC games we will play the following teams:

Penn 
@ Rhode Island 
North Carolina  (Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament in Bahamas)
Stephen F Austin 
@ Penn State 
Belmont  (Huntsville)
Richmond 

We will play three games in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament. Our second game will be against either Michigan or Iowa St. All teams in the Tournament are big names so our third game will add another quality opponent. Besides Bama the tournament teams will be Gonzaga, North Carolina, Michigan, Iowa State, Oregon, Seton Hall and Southern Miss.

That is 9 games. We will play in the SEC - Big 12 Challenge as a 10th game but the opponent has not been named yet. We normally play about 12-13 non-SEC games not counting the post season.

The SEC schedule will be very difficult as top to bottom the league is getting better each year. Our schedule will be one of the most difficult in the NCAA.

Well we are going to know within the first 2 months what we have in a path of the game. RTR!

I’m glad to see us playing a tough schedule. No doubt, Coach Oats and the AD wanted the same thing. This will help infuse some energy into the program and fan interest especially if we play well in the Bahamas.
