The Clemson men’s basketball team will travel to Alabama on Dec. 3 as part of the third annual ACC/SEC Challenge, it was announced Thursday.

Alabama’s 89-82 Elite Eight win over Clemson in 2024 broke a three-game losing streak in the all-time series, which the Tigers lead 8-5. Last season, the Crimson Tide hit the road for Chapel Hill to face North Carolina. This December, Alabama will host Clemson coach Brad Brownell and company in Coleman Coliseum.

The ACC/SEC Men’s Challenge will take place over back-to-back days Tuesday, Dec. 2, and Wednesday, Dec. 3, while the ACC/SEC Women’s Challenge is slated for Dec. 3 and Thursday, Dec. 4. Both the men’s and women’s events will be televised across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ACC Network and SEC Network.

The women’s basketball team starts its 2012-13 season on Sunday, kicking off a quest for a fourth straight Ivy League championship. Who is most likely to deny the Tigers their fourth ... scorer Christine Clark, the Crimson will be potent.
