Alabama will be challenged on this trip more than what Auburn was challenged in Israel. Other than going to see the historic religious sites in the Holy Land, why did Bruce want to schedule games in Israel?

Unfortunately there appears to be no means to stream these games.

Is this a new trend? Playing other countries national teams as exhibitions? I don’t remember teams doing this before but I definitely could be wrong.

Arkansas plays tomorrow on FloSports. I’m surprised Alabama couldn’t get it streamed somehow.

It’s a good experience for the players.
I don’t think winning or losing these exhibitions will make or break the season.
I think most coaches will just let them play and probably not show every nuance of their sets.
Probably a good time to see how guys have developed over the spring and summer. Maybe you can find a 9th or 10th guy for the rotation.
Maybe reward the walk-ons with some PT with mostly starters.
I’m not sure why people are upset about teams going overseas as a team building experience.

These trips are great for the players. Extra exhibitions while also being able to see the world. Win-win for everyone

The Chinese team will also be pretty good. They have two 7 footers who were 2nd round NBA picks in 2016. Qi played in Houston 2 years and is in Australia now and Zhelin has been really good in China for a decade.
Will be good tests.

Smart play by Oats to keep this game close, Winnie the Pooh doesn't take humiliation well

So, Alabama went 3-0 with a win over FIBA #28 ranked China. Auburn, on their Holy Land tour, went 2-1 with a loss to FIBA #42 ranked Israel.
