The Arizona Wildcats are close to finalizing a home-and-home series with the Alabama Crimson Tide, reports Cecil Hurt of the Tuscaloosa News.
Hurt reports Arizona will host Alabama in the upcoming 2017-18 season and then Alabama will host Arizona in Tuscaloosa in the 2018-19 season.
The Wildcats have Dec. 9-10 open on their 2017-18 schedule, which is presumably when this series will begin.
Alabama, coached by former NBA player Avery Johnson, went 19-15 this past season, and returns nearly all of its key contributors plus adds the No.
