TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama will open the 2016 Southeastern Conference slate when it travels to Oxford, Miss., to take on the Ole Miss Rebels on Thursday at 8 p.m. CT. It will mark the inaugural game played in the Rebels’ brand new 9,500-seat arena – The Pavilion at Ole Miss.
Alabama won for the seventh time in its last eight games when the Tide captured a 68-49 victory over Norfolk State last Saturday. With the win, the Tide has now captured 15 straight non-conference home wins at Coleman Coliseum. The last time Alabama lost to a non-conference opponent under the arched roof came against Xavier on Dec.
