Alabama basketball opponent for Boutwell game revealed in 2025
Alabama men’s basketball has its opponent for a matchup at Boutwell Auditorium set.
The Crimson Tide will face Florida State in an exhibition game October 17 in Birmingham. This marks the second consecutive preseason in which Alabama has played at Boutwell Auditorium. In 2024, the Crimson Tide faced Wake Forest in an exhibition game.
Alabama women’s basketball will also face Florida State that week.
A season ago, it was called ‘Bama in Boutwell.’ Now, it will be ‘Ballin in Boutwell’ because other schools will be participating as well. That includes the Alabama women’s basketball program.
