Alabama basketball adds trip to Georgia to schedule
No. 6 Alabama basketball now knows the remainder of its regular-season schedule. The SEC announced Thursday that the Crimson Tide will end its regular-season slate with a trip to Georgia as it is set to travel to Athens on Saturday, March 6 for a 1 p.m. CT tipoff against the Bulldogs.
The game is a replacement for Alabama's previously-scheduled trip to Texas A&M last week which was called off due to icy weather in College Station, Texas. The Tide beat Georgia 115-82 in Tuscaloosa earlier this month.
Alabama (18-6, 13-2 in the SEC) currently holds a 2.5-game lead over Arkansas (18-5, 10-4) for first place in the SEC standings. The Tide will travel to face Mississippi State on Saturday at 5 p.m. before playing its final home game of the season against Auburn on Tuesday. Alabama can clinch its first regular-season conference title with a win in any of its three remaining games.
