The Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team now has an opponent set for its 2020-21 season opener.

As coach Nate Oats prepares for his second season at the helm of the Crimson Tide program, he’ll try to improve on last year’s 16-15 record.

Per the team’s Twitter account, the Tide will try to get off to a good start on Nov. 10 against Jacksonville State. The game will be played in Coleman Coliseum:

The Gamecocks play in the Ohio Valley Conference. They finished 13-19 overall during the 2019-20 campaign.

Jacksonville State lost at Tennessee last year by a score of 75-53. The Crimson Tide are still waiting to hear if talented sharpshooter John Petty will return to school or stay in the 2020 NBA Draft.
