The event, presented by the Knight-Eady Sports Group, will mark the Crimson Tide’s first appearance in Birmingham since facing Oklahoma State in 2011. It will be the first game of a home-and-home series between the two teams, as Alabama will play in Eugene, Ore., during the 2016-17 campaign.                                             

The Tide and Ducks have split the only two games the teams have played in series history, with each contest taking place at a neutral location. Last season, Oregon finished with a 26-10 record and was a No. 8 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Ducks eventually fell to national runner-up Wisconsin in the Round of 32.
