Happy New Year everyone! As the football team made clear the other day, the #2020RevengeTour is officially underway for Alabama athletics, and the Crimson Tide basketball team (7-5, 0-0 SEC, KenPom: 64, NET: 65) is up next on the docket, as they head to Gainesville, Florida for a big-time opportunity against the Florida Gators (8-4, 0-0 SEC, KenPom: 25, NET: 54). It’s opening Saturday in conference play, and the Tide were set-up with a tough match-up to get things started.
Florida has been a bit disappointing thus far this season, as the preseason top-10 ranked Gators were considered the favorites in the league this year, but are currently just 2-4 against Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 2 teams (the same record as the Tide, coincidentally).
