Alabama basketball fans are unhappy. Why is anyone surprised? It’s February. A nod to Cecil Hurt for the reminder Alabama basketball fans try to forget – “Since 2017, the Crimson Tide is now 11-21 in SEC regular-season games in February (and) March.”
Those two months are the ‘put-up-or-shut-up’ times for teams with Big Dance expectations. Plenty of people on Tuscaloosa know that (including several in the Athletic Department) but somehow for Alabama basketball, there is a chasm between knowing and doing.
When will all the coming up short end? Will it ever end?
There are many other, smaller, but still vexing questions.
