Alabama plays at Memphis tonight. It is the first true “Road Test” of the season, but don’t call this team untested. Soak in what Alabama has done. Wins in Seattle over Top 5 Gonzaga just miles away from their campus. A win at home vs. a Houston team that was in The Final Four last year. That is the first back to back wins over Top 15 teams for Alabama since 2000. Now we get to see them in a true road game in Memphis where Penny Hardaway’s team started the year in the AP Top 10. They are hungry to make up for some unexpected losses. Tough game. Tough stretch of the schedule. A stretch that Alabama could finish 3-and-0 which would have blown my mind back in November.
