Proceeds from the event will support stroke research at the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Stroke Center.

"We are excited and honored to partner with Wake Forest for this meaningful event," Alabama head coach Nate Oats said. "To be able to play an exhibition game and help people in need is a great opportunity that goes beyond basketball. At the same time, it will also give us an opportunity to test ourselves against a quality program in a road environment at Wake Forest."

Admission for the game will be free, but there will be a suggested voluntary donation of $20 accepted at entry into Joel Coliseum.

Alabama men's basketball is 2-5 all-time against Wake Forest, with the two teams last meeting in the 1999 NIT.

The game will tip off at noon.
