A massive opportunity awaits the Alabama Crimson Tide today as they enter the Fertitta Center to take on the number one ranked team in college basketball - the Houston Cougars. The top-ten showdown is the game of the day in American sports, and it’s the first time Tide Hoops has participated in a top-ten meeting in 20 years, when the 8th-ranked Tide defeated #3 Oklahoma at Madison Square Garden during the 2002 Coaches vs Cancer Classic. Interestingly enough, the coach for the Sooners that day was none other than the man who will be in the opposite coaches' box today - Kelvin Sampson.
