HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – A season removed from reaching the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Semifinals for the first time in nearly a decade, Alabama A&M (0-0, 0-0 SWAC) men's basketball looks to go further as they kickoff the 2022-23 campaign against budding rival North Alabama (1-0, 0-0 SWAC) on Thursday, November 10. That game will be the second-to-last played in Elmore Gymnasium with tip-off slated for 7 p.m.
The Bulldogs come in following a season that saw them go 12-18 overall but 10-8 in Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) play. That would earn them the No. 4 Seed which they would turn in to a trip the semifinals for the first time since 2014. They are coming off of a 95-79 exhibition victory over in-town NAIA foe Oakwood (11/3).
That is something the clubs have in common as UNA visits Elmore following a regular season contest against the Ambassadors. That would be a 108-51 victory on November 7.
