March 19th, 2018, Alabama lost their opening round NIT tournament game against Norfolk State, and the future of the Alabama basketball program was looking very bleak. Yes, they made NCAA Tournament the year before, and have had some talent in the program with Colin Sexton and Donta Hall. But the continued 18-15 record, 7-8 win seasons in the SEC and always living on the NCAA tournament bubble was becoming the norm and something needed to change. I really liked Anthony Grant and Avery Johnson, Avery was a great recruiter, but this team, this program belongs in the tournament discussion year end and year out.
