The Alabama Crimson Tide (5-1) will try to continue their current roll in the non-conference slate as they head south to Orlando, Florida for a meeting with the UCF Knights (5-1). The Tide will be looking to exact a little revenge on the Knights after Johnny Dawkins’ team came into Tuscaloosa and upset the home team 65-62 last season. Alabama really blew that game, as a patented Anthony Grant-like 5 minute scoreless stretch early in the second half allowed UCF to take an outright lead after trailing by 6 at the intermission.
It was the first of many head-scratching performances for the Tide last December, something Avery Johnson is hoping his now seasoned group of veterans can avoid this year .
