Alabama men's basketball hosts last non-conference game of season

Tuscaloosa News

The SEC portion of the year is approaching but the University of Alabama men's basketball team will close out the non-conference portion of its schedule at home today against Norfolk State.

"They are a dangerous team, especially from the three-point line," Alabama head coach Avery Johnson said Friday. "They do a great job of creating contact and getting to the foul line."

The Spartans (5-9), members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Confererence, have a road win over Texas-El Paso on their ledger. In their lone game against SEC competition, Norfolk State lost by 15 points at No.
