Championship teams are battle-tested, and Alabama's head coach, Nate Oats, is known for a strong non-conference schedule. According to Hitmen Hoops of Tiger Blueprint, oats and the Tide will test their metal again before the season begins with an exhibition game against the Memphis Tigers.

The exhibition game will take place at Propst Arena in Huntsville, Alabama on October 28.
