February is time to start considering the NCAA ‘Bubble’ and specifically the chances of Alabama basketball making the 68-team field. Last week’s losses to LSU and Arkansas were not deal-killers for the Tide. Both teams are rated high enough, the Tide did not slip far in the NCAA Net Ranking.
The twin problems for the Crimson Tide are needing more wins and specifically needing a quality road win. Given the indefinite absence of Herbert Jones from the lineup, wins will be a challenge.
In the remaining 10 regular-season games, the contests are evenly split between home and away.
