Alabama Basketball continued its tear with a seventh straight victory and getting to 6-0, at the top of the SEC.

Less than a month ago, the Alabama basketball team lost a close home game to Western Kentucky. Coupled with an early-season loss to Stanford and a loss to Clemson a week before the WKU game, the Crimson Tide was 4-3. Nate Oats’ team was not exactly struggling, but it also was not clicking.

Crimson Tide fans were beginning to doubt the Alabama basketball roster. Nate Oats had upgraded the talent, particularly his depth, but he was still discovering how to best utilize the roster.
