TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – A pair of reunions, Bama Salute and the "Crimson Out" highlight the promotions for the 2016-17 Alabama men's basketball home schedule.
The 15-game home slate features a variety of giveaways, presentations and discounts. A complete and updated list of promotions and details can be found on the men's basketball schedule page on Rolltide.com. Fans are encouraged to check back on that page as it will be updated regularly throughout the season.
Highlighting this year's promotions are a pair of reunions that all Crimson Tide fans will enjoy. The first reunion will take place on Nov. 18 vs. Ball State (8 p.m. CT), as Alabama welcomes back all former letterwinners and staff members for a special halftime recognition. In addition, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the memorable 1986-87 season, as the team and coaching staff will be honored during the Missouri game on Jan. 18 (6 p.m. CT).
This year's "Crimson Out" game will occur on Jan. 21 vs. Auburn (3 p.m. CT). All fans in the lower bowl will receive crimson t-shirts.
The season-opening contest on Nov. 11 will not only feature $6 tickets for the doubleheader (women host New Orleans at 5 p.m. CT, followed by the men taking on Coastal Carolina at 8 p.m. CT), but it will double with Bama Salute night in which the Tide will honor all military personnel.
The following game will be part of ESPN's Tipoff Marathon as the Tide takes on the Dayton Flyers on Nov. 15 at 12:15 p.m. CT. There will be several promotions surrounding this game that will be announced at a later date. However, two promotions are known for this contest and include $5 tickets for all faculty and staff, as well as t-shirts given away to the first 1,200 students in attendance.
The Tide's lone exhibition game is slated for Nov. 3 at 7 p.m., when it welcomes Faulkner University to Coleman Coliseum. Fans will be able to purchase a ticket for $3 when donating a non-perishable food item or canned food which will go towards the Beat Auburn Beat Hunger food drive.
