With the season getting into crunch time the Gators (13-10, 6-4 SEC) will enter one of their most difficult games of the season heading to Tuscaloosa to take on the undefeated in league play Alabama Crimson Tide (20-3, 10-0 SEC).
Right now the Gators find themselves on the outside looking in when it comes to the NCAA Tournament picture and they need to stack up some quality wins and there aren’t many wins available that would be better than a road contest at Alabama. Currently the Crimson Tide are #3 in the NCAA’s NET Rankings so a road win for the Gators would be even more valuable than their win over Tennessee who was ranked #2 because that game was played in Gainesville.
