No. 6 Alabama is facing Memphis on the road tonight, following a week that saw the Crimson Tide take down two highly-ranked teams in Houston and Gonzaga, both of which played in last season’s Final Four.
Nate Oats’ team enters with eight wins and only one loss, while Penny Hardaway and the Tigers are one game above .500 with five wins and four losses.
This game is being played in Memphis on the Tigers’ home court, which, to the dismay of Crimson Tide fans, is blue.
Think Boise State football, but basketball.
Alabama fans have taken to Twitter to voice their complaints and take turns roasting the hardwood.

Can’t decide if I love or despise the Memphis basketball court. The opinion will all but certainly be determined by the result of this game.

This might make me seem like a cranky old man, but I’m not a fan of brightly colored basketball courts or football fields. Boise State’s blue turf? Eastern Washington’s red field?? No thanks. Whatever Memphis has going on with this basketball court? Veto.
