Being a Tide Hoops fan is never dull, is it? Fresh off a tragically pathetic loss to one of the worst power conference teams in the country, the Alabama Crimson Tide (13-7, 4-4 SEC; NET: 24; Kenpom: 19) finds itself at a major crossroads. The Tide hasn’t played well, really, in over a month. Even the recent ranked wins over LSU and Tennessee were sloppy games where the Tide barely snuck out home victories. But, prior to this stretch, Alabama was looking like a Final Four caliber team.
And it’s not like that was a fluke.
