It has been a wild few days around college basketball and in Tuscaloosa when it comes to scheduling. After months with little to no cancellations due to COVID in college and professional sports, dozens of games have been altered this past week. 

Alabama was originally slated to face Colorado State on Tuesday in the C.M. Newton Classic in Birmingham. Early on Friday, Colorado State cancelled its Saturday game because of COVID issues within the program, and then by the end of the day Friday, Alabama was looking for a new opponent. 

The Crimson Tide found a new opponent in the Davidson Wildcats. Davidson was supposed to play Loyola-Chicago on Tuesday, but that game was cancelled because of COVID issues within Loyola's program which made them available to play the Crimson Tide on Tuesday. 

With that, here's everything you need to know about Alabama vs Davidson:
