August is here, and the non-conference schedule for Alabama men's basketball still has yet to be formally announced.
Ahead of the 2024-25 season, UA athletics released the Crimson Tide's non-con slate on July 9. While there hasn't been official word from the program this summer, the majority of matchups are set in stone.
The Tuscaloosa News acquired game contracts through an open records request to the University of Alabama on July 10. The only games that were not officially confirmed in UA's response included the contest against Kennesaw State, reported by Rocco Miller, and the Oct. 26 exhibition game against Furman, but the Paladins formally announced the Greenville-based showdown on July 23.
For additional context, The Sentinel, KSU's student newspaper, reported that the Dec. 21 matchup with Alabama was set. However, that information was aggregated from Miller's tweet on June 4 and not an official press release from the program, led by Alabama alum Antoine Pettway, or contract information provided by the unviersity.
Here's a look at where Alabama's non-conference schedule stands on the first day of August:
