  "account": "The Alabama Crimson Tide will face the Ole Miss Rebels in an exhibition basketball game at 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 15 at Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham. This marks the third time the Crimson Tide have participated in this showcase. The Tuscaloosa News has offered three predictions for this upcoming game.\n\nKey player for Alabama in this game is transfer Keitenn Bristow, who is expected to score in double figures. Bristow, who joined Alabama from Tarleton State, dominated in his first game back from injuries with 8 points, 5 rebounds, and shooting 2-for-4 from deep. Ole Miss will be looking to replicate Bristow's performance against Illinois.\n\nRebounder Tarris Bouie is predicted to repeat as the Crimson Tide's top rebounder. If Bouie plays more than 20 minutes, it would not be surprising if he records another hard hat performance, similar to his freshman debut where he grabbed a team-high eight rebounds and scored 18 points. Both teams bring nine newcomers to the game, but Alabama's new class is ranked higher than Ole Miss'. The Crimson Tide's offense is expected to perform well, with 82 combined points from their newcomers in the recent Furman game.",
