Nate Oats has put together an outstanding roster, and he continues to challenge his talent with a schedule that will push them to be their best. Cecil Hurt reported back in June that Alabama had agreed to a series with Memphis, and the university officially announced it today.
This year’s game is merely a charity exhibition up there, but the Tigers and Tide will play home and home for the following two seasons. Besides the fact that Memphis is a quality opponent, the Memphis area is a hotbed for basketball talent. Exposure up there can only help.
