Alabama basketball is aiming to stay undefeated in its first road trip against its first ranked opponent of the 2024-25 season.
No. 12 Purdue welcomes the No. 2 Crimson Tide for a 6 p.m. CT tipoff Friday at Mackey Arena.
Both returning Final Four teams take the floor 3-0 on the season. After breaking 100 in the season opener against UNC-Asheville, Alabama has pieced together gritty wins against mid-majors Arkansas State and McNeese State.
Purdue looks to close out its four-game home stand with a win over UA following victories over Texas A&M-CC, Northern Kentucky and Yale.
