Following the games of Feb. 8, the Alabama basketball was No. 42 in the NCAA NET Ranking. The overtime loss at Auburn and the big home win over LSU pushed the Tide up to No. 35. Low to mid-thirties in the NET normally puts teams in seven to ten seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
The NCAA Selection Committee considers several sets of data. An important one is Strength of Schedule (SOS). As provided by Warren Nolan, the Tide’s SOS is No. 5. Beating LSU gave the Crimson Tide another Quad One win.
Expert sources disagree on the Crimson Tide’s NCAA Tournament chances.
