This year’s Rocket City Classic appears to be set. According to a report from CBS Sports, Alabama basketball will play Belmont on Dec. 21 in Huntsville Ala.
Belmont finished 27-6 (16-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference) last season and earned a No. 11 seed in the NCAA Tournament despite not winning its conference tournament. The Bruins won their First Four game against Temple before losing to No. 6 seed Maryland in the Round of 64.
This year’s Rocket City Classic will mark the fourth straight year Alabama has played in Huntsville. The Crimson Tide are 3-0 in their last three visits with wins over Liberty (84-75), Mercer (80-79) and Arkansas State (67-52).
