BREAKING NEWS: Date Confirmed for Alabama Basketball Rematch with Creighton…..

Alabama Basketball Rematch with Creighton Scheduled for December
Alabama’s rematch with Creighton is set to occur in December, marking the second leg of their home-and-home series.

Amidst the college basketball offseason, the initial details of Alabama basketball’s non-conference lineup for the 2024-25 season have emerged. Coleman Coliseum will host the Crimson Tide’s face-off against Creighton on Saturday, December 14, according to a report by college basketball analyst Rocco Miller.

The specific game time remains to be determined.

Last summer, Alabama and Creighton agreed upon a two-year series, alternating home courts with the first match held in Omaha and the second in Tuscaloosa.

In the previous season, Creighton secured a narrow victory in the opening encounter of the series, clinching an 85-82 win on their home turf at the CHI Health Center. Despite a strong performance by Alabama’s guard Mark Sears, who tallied 19 points, the game concluded with a missed buzzer-beater attempt that would have forced overtime.

This upcoming game adds to Alabama’s challenging non-conference schedule, a hallmark of Nate Oats’ tenure in Tuscaloosa. Apart from the Creighton matchup, Alabama has slated games against Arizona in Birmingham, continuing a series that commenced the previous season, and reportedly, a forthcoming matchup against St. John’s.

Additionally, the Crimson Tide is set to participate in the ACC/SEC Challenge in November and is likely to engage in a multi-team event during Thanksgiving week, details of which are yet to be unveiled.

As the offseason progresses, Alabama awaits roster decisions for the 2024-25 season and finalizes preparations for the non-conference slate commencing in November.
