For the third straight season, Alabama will play Purdue in men's basketball. The Crimson Tide will get a return trip to Coleman Coliseum.

The former Crimson Tide signal caller has a busy week ahead of next week's NFL draft, scheduling several visits with NFL teams.

With her resilience and pro-ready game, Green is poised to bring energy and depth to the Mystics' backcourt.

Nye becomes the second former Alabama player taken in this year's draft, joining teammate Sarah Ashlee Barker, who was selected No. 9 overall by the Los Angeles Sparks. With her selection, Nye also etches her name into Crimson Tide lore as the 14th Alabama player ever drafted into the WNBA.

She was selected No. 9 overall in the first-round by the Los Angeles Sparks, making her the Crimson Tide's highest draft pick since Jasmine Walker.

"Nye is obviously an excellent 3-point shooter," said ESPN analyst Andraya Carter during a pre-draft conference call.

"She gets downhill. She's very long, has a good size, and is an aggressive shot hunter and I think that's one of the things that stands out about her," said ESPN analyst Andraya Carter.

From timely hitting to lockdown pitching and flawless execution, the Crimson Tide left it all on the field for Game 2. Now, with the series even, all eyes turn to Game 3 on Monday.

The Tide looks to return to the top at wide receiver with a plethora of riches for the 2025 season.
