Tonight inside Coleman Coliseum
@AlabamaMBB begins the 2025-26 season when the No. 15-ranked Crimson Tide hosts the North Dakota Fighting Hawks and
@nate_oats unveils Team 7.
To say Alabama basketball fans are living in historic times would be an understatement. Since first arriving in Tuscaloosa in March 2019, Oats has restored the luster of a program that already had an underrated tradition and elevated it to unprecedented heights despite being in the shadow of football.
Two SEC Tournament championships, two SEC regular-season championships, five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, four Sweet Sixteens, two Elite Eights and the school’s first Final Four have all been achieved in just six years.
In a nod to the echos of the past, Oats wears his own style of plaid sports coats and
@Crimson_Chaos continues the honored ritual of bestowing a plaid jacket to its new leader.
There has never been a better time to be a fan of Alabama basketball as the current generation now experiences what students, players and fans in the 30s, 50s, 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s knew.
This IS Alabama basketball and the tradition will never be forgotten.
