Alabama Basketball at Texas A&M Start Time Changed Due to Winter Weather

The Crimson Tide will now play on Thursday afternoon rather than Wednesday evening

The Southeastern Conference announced on Monday afternoon that all but two of the men's basketball games scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday this week have been rescheduled due to the threat of severe winter weather that is sweeping across the southeastern United States.

"The Southeastern Conference has announced a revised schedule of men’s basketball games due to the icy weather that is moving throughout the region this week," the SEC announced in a statement. "In addition, the South Carolina at Tennessee game originally scheduled for Tuesday has been changed to Wednesday as a result of a combination of a positive test, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining of individuals within the Tennessee basketball program, consistent with Southeastern Conference COVID-19 management requirements."

Among those games was No. 8Alabama basketball's game at Texas A&M. The Crimson Tide was originally scheduled to play against the Aggies in College Station at 8 p.m. CT on Wednesday, Feb. 17. The game will now take place at 2 p.m. CT on Thursday, Feb. 18.
