After a long lay-off for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Crimson Tide (4-1) return to the court Monday night for a tilt with the Murray State Racers (3-0). Alabama will look to build upon a strong finish in the Charleston Classic as they try to remain undefeated at home during the early stages of the 2018-19 season. Once again, the Tide will be tested in this one, as Murray State is a defending conference champion that was tabbed as the favorite in the Ohio Valley Conference yet again this season. The Racers have a long tradition of being a strong small conference program, as last season’s trip to the NCAA Tournament was their sixteenth trip to the Big Dance, which is only a few short of Alabama’s all-time appearances (20).
