No. 14 Alabama will play its 13th game of the regular season next Monday night at home against Yale.

This will be just the second time the two programs meet, as the Crimson Tide won 66-63 at home in 2008. Fast forward 17 years and UA will host the Ivy League school in Coleman Coliseum. The Bulldogs have won their last eight games of the season, and are 3-0 on the road.

Yale is led by head coach James Jones, who has been named the Ivy League Coach of the Year four times. He is one of the sport's longest-tenured coaches, as he's held his current position with the Bulldogs since the 1999-00 season.

This will be Alabama's final nonconference contest this year, as the Crimson Tide is currently 9-3. Its wins have come against North Dakota, St. John's, Illinois, UNLV, Maryland, Clemson, UTSA, South Florida and Kennesaw State. UA's losses were to Purdue, Arizona and Gonzaga — all of whom are currently inside the top-7 of the AP Top 25.

Can Alabama head coach Nate Oats and company finish nonconference play and the year 2025 on a strong note against Yale, as the SEC portion of the schedule looms?
