The C.M. Newton Classic is set for Saturday afternoon when the #4 Alabama Crimson Tide (9-1) play the #15 Gonzaga Bulldogs (8-3) in Birmingham. Alabama has been off to a fantastic start and recorded the best win of the season late last week. Gonzaga is off to unfamiliar poor start and will look for a resume building win.
