Alabama basketball has a new opponent for Tuesday’s C.M. Newton Classic in Birmingham, Ala.

Tuesday’s game will tip off at 6 p.m. CT inside Birmingham’s Legacy Arena.
Alabama’s game against Colorado State was called off due to COVID-19 complications in the Rams program. Davidson became an available replacement after its game against Loyola-Chicago this upcoming Wednesday was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns in Loyola’s program.
Both Alabama (8-2) and Davidson (7-2) have games on Saturday leading into Tuesday's matchup. The Crimson Tide will host Jacksonville State (5-5) Saturday at 7:30 p.m. inside of Coleman Coliseum. Davidson will play Radford earlier in the day.
