- Alabama basketball Final Four banner reveal: Dunk contest, scrimmage and what to know
A new season of Alabama basketball can't begin without remembering the monumental run that has the Crimson Tide entering the 2024-25 preseason as the No. 1 team in the country.
Coleman Coliseum will open its doors to the public on Friday for a Final Four banner reveal. Coach Nate Oats and last year's squad are also due to receive the rings that memorialize their 25-12 overall record and trek to Houston.

Fans can expect to get all the bang for their buck beyond the banner and ring reveal, too. For $10, attendees will be treated to a three-point contest, a dunk contest, a live interview between Oats and voice of the Crimson Tide Chris Stewart and a scrimmage to end the evening. Students receive free admission while Yea Alabama members receive priority seating.
