Alabama basketball enhanced its NCAA resume with the Tennessee win. Barring a late-season collapse, Alabama basketball should return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012.
Alabama basketball has six remaining regular season games, plus SEC tournament games. The NCAA Selection committee chooses teams based on several key factors. The Tide’s record against top teams is tremendous, going 5-1 against ranked teams. One significant factor is a team’s most recent games and despite a lull of three losses in five games, the Tide has won seven out of the last ten. Finishing 3-3 in the regular season will give the Tide a last 10 games run of 5-5.
