With a pleasantly surprising blowout win over the Georgia Bulldogs on Wednesday night, Alabama (12-7, 5-2 SEC) officially announced themselves as legitimate contenders for a double-bye in the SEC Tournament in March. The Tide have placed themselves in the upper echelon of the SEC standings, as only Kentucky (17-3, 7-1 SEC), South Carolina (16-4, 6-1 SEC), and Florida (15-5, 6-2 SEC) have better records, and only Arkansas (16-4, 5-3 SEC) is within a game of taking the Tide’s 4th place spot. Those four teams would all be in the NCAA Tournament if it started tomorrow.
