Alabama finds new opponent for Tuesday night matchup in Birmingham

Alabama was supposed to face undefeated Colorado State in a big-time matchup on Tuesday night in Birmingham.

But, that game was forced to be canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Rams’ program.

It didn’t take long for the Crimson Tide to find a new foe, though, as it was announced on Saturday that Davidson would take on Nate Oats’ squad on Tuesday night instead:

We found a new dance partner!?

Excited to welcome @DavidsonMBB (7-2) to the Magic City on December 21.

Get your tickets to see @AlabamaMBB vs. @DavidsonMBB in the new Legacy Arena at 6:00 p.m. CST.

The Tide will play on Saturday night against Jacksonville State in Tuscaloosa. Assuming both the Tide and Wildcats can avoid COVID issues between now and Tuesday, that should be a solid nonconference matchup.

We’ll see what happens moving forward, but it’ll be great to see these 2 squads descend on Birmingham.
