Alabama basketballā€™s gauntlet run continues following the Crimson Tideā€™s runner-up performance in the Players Era Festival last week. Next up for No. 10 Alabama is a trip to No. 20 North Carolina as part of this yearā€™s ACC/SEC Challenge.

The SEC has already clinched a victory in this yearā€™s challenge, as its teams went 9-1 against ACC opposition on Tuesday. Alabamaā€™s matchup against UNC will be one of six Wednesday games in the challenge, as the SEC looks to run up the score.

Alabama and UNC have squared off in each of the past two seasons. Two years ago, the Tide edged the Tar Heels, 103-101 in four overtimes during the Phil Knight Invitational in Portland, Oregon. Last season, No. 4 seed Alabama upset No. 1 seed North Carolina, 89-87, in Los Angeles during the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. The Tar Heels are currently a 2.5-point favorite in this yearā€™s matchup, which will be held inside Dean E. Smith Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Hereā€™s everything you need to know ahead of the matchup.
