Alabama spent 40 minutes on the Viejas Arena game floor one day ahead of its contest vs. No. 11 seed Notre Dame
SAN DIEGO – The Alabama men's basketball team made its final preparations Thursday, conducting a closed 90-minute workout at a local high school before making the short trek to Viejas Arena. While there, the Crimson Tide met with television and both local and national media and radio while also conducting a 40-minute workout that was open to the public.
The sixth-seeded Crimson Tide will take on No. 11 seed Notre Dame Friday at 3:15 p.m. CT/1:15 p.m. PT on TNT. It will be the second of two games in the afternoon session and will follow No. 3 Texas Tech and No. 14 Montana State. The winners of each contest will advance to square off in Sunday's second round.
Alabama began the day putting in the final pieces of its game prep for Friday's contest with the Fighting Irish, which will mark the first meeting between the teams since squaring off in the Advocare Invitational in Orlando, Fla., on Nov. 29, 2015 (Alabama defeated then-No. 17 Notre Dame, 74-73). It's the sixth meeting in series history with the Tide leading, 3-2
Adversity is something he's used to. It's all a part of his story. And he wouldn't change a thing.
