#25 Alabama vs. Memphis Game Thread

The 25th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team (that feels amazing to type) open up their season in a big way by tipping-off with the always-formidable Memphis Tigers at the Veteran's Classic in Annapolis, MD. With Braxton Key, Riley Norris, and Ar'Mond Davis all dealing with injuries, and freshman sensation Collin Sexton serving a single game suspension, the Tide will be quite short-handed as they take on Tubby Smith's Tigers. Will the rest of the team be able to step-up and grab an important victory on a neutral site?

The game will tip at 5:30 PM CST and will be televised on CBS Sports Network.
