Interesting. Good time to work together and get some team chemistry.
If it seems as if the college basketball preseason is already here it's because these days the season never really ends. With incoming freshman arriving to campuses around the nation in the last week, nearly every day between now and November will be spent preparing for the upcoming season.
While time spent together on the floor and in the weight room in June is an important part of the team building process, practices leading up to an August trip to Canada -- where, according to CUSN, UA will take on McGill University (August 7 in Montreal), Carleton University (August 9 in Ottawa) and Ottawa University (August 10 in Ottawa) -- is when Alabama's talented roster will really get to work. The Crimson Tide will be allowed ten full-team practices during that time.
Of the three teams UA will face north of the border, Carleton represents the best program Canadian college hoops has to offer. In addition to posting exhibition wins over Wisconsin (by 13 points prior to the Badgers' run to the 2013 Final Four) and Wichita State (by 25 in a 2016 game that saw Shockers' coach Gregg Marshall receive a technical foul) in recent years, the Ravens have won 13 of the last 15 U Sports national championships, including a current streak of seven crowns in a row.
