TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – No. 9/9 Alabama returns to Coleman Coliseum for the first time since Nov. 19 when it squares off with the No. 14/13 Houston Cougars Saturday night at 9 p.m. CT on ESPN2. The Crimson Tide will make the return trip to Houston, Texas next season to conclude the home-and-home series, which was originally slated to begin in 2020 but had to be pushed back due to a Covid cancellation.
This marks the fifth time the two teams will square off on the hardwood, but first since Houston defeated Alabama in the Sun Bowl Tournament in El Paso, Texas on Dec. 29, 1979. The win improved the Cougars to 3-1 in four games played against the Crimson Tide, with all four contests coming at a neutral site.
The Tide is coming off an impressive 91-82 win over No. 3/3 Gonzaga in front of more than 18,000 fans – most of which were rooting for the Bulldogs – in Climate Pledge Arena for the Battle in Seattle last Saturday night. It marked Alabama's first road win over a top-five team since defeating then-No. 4 Mississippi State, 77-73, on Feb. 21, 2004 in Starkville, Miss.
