The problem with analyzing a basketball scheduling is how the pieces come slowly trickling out over the course of half a year or so: here a game, there a preseason invitation; the SEC announces opponents one month, then six weeks later you see whether you’re getting a split or a road or a home date.
Unlike the Tide’s 2021 blockbuster schedule, 2022-2023 has been following that path moreso than usual. We’ve already covered the SEC slate — and for a change, it looks manageable. Today, we’re going to look at the out-of-conference equation. Because, I don’t know if you’ve paid attention or not, but this card is getting filled up mighty quickly, mighty quietly, and it will be double-stamp day at the IGA before you know it.
