The game marks the back end of a neutral court “home-and-home” series between the two programs. Arizona will face Alabama in Phoenix on Dec. 20 in the Jerry Colangelo Hall of Fame Series.
Arizona trails Alabama 3-1 all-time in the series. Arizona’s lone win over the Crimson Tide came on Dec. 9, 2017 in Tucson by a score of 88-82. Arizona fell to Alabama in Tuscaloosa the following season 76-73.
Arizona has had better luck playing in Birmingham, which hosted the 1997 NCAA Tournament Southeast Regional. The No. 4 seed Wildcats stunned top-seed Kansas in the Sweet 16, then defeated No. 10 Providence in the Elite Eight to advance to the Final Four. Arizona went on to win the national championship.
