It may go without saying, but the addition of new men’s basketball coach Avery Johnson for the Alabama Crimson Tide is a nice shot in the arm for the Tide faithful. He has proven to be a solid recruiter thus far, he’s energetic and passionate, and he isn’t afraid to go out on a limb and play some tough opponents.
On December 21, 2015, the Tide will do battle with the Oregon Ducks in the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, and will go to Eugene, OR to finish up the home-and-home series during the 2016-2017 season on a date that has yet to be determined.
