Bama Basketball Breakdown: #5 Texas A&M

Alabama's 2017-18 basketball season is at a crossroads right now. It's weird to type that out, considering the Tide is sitting at an 8-4 mark against a very tough SOS, but it is the truth. If the NCAA Tournament started today, this incredibly talented Crimson Tide team would likely be just outside the cut-line looking at a top-seed in the NIT. Maybe the high RPI and schedule metrics would get the Tide in the tournament as one of the last few in, but considering the incredible and palpable hype surrounding the program coming into the season, barely making the tournament would be a massive disappointment.
