TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The University of Alabama men’s basketball team will face a challenging non-conference schedule in addition to the traditional Southeastern Conference slate, head coach Anthony Grant announced Thursday. Fifteen home dates, plus a contest in Birmingham, Ala., highlight a schedule that features at least 15 contests against teams that finished 2010-11 ranked in the top 100 of the RPI.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The University of Alabama men’s basketball team will appear once on ESPN’s Super Tuesday in 2012, the Southeastern Conference and ESPN announced Tuesday. The network selected the Crimson Tide’s Feb. 14 contest against Florida to feature on the popular weekly series of games. Tipoff at Coleman Coliseum is scheduled for 6 p.m. CST on ESPN.
