The Alabama men’s basketball team is riding high.
The Crimson Tide checked in at No. 4 in this week’s AP poll, the program’s highest ranking since Dec. 4, 2006. The Tide’s only loss is to the No. 3 team in the country, Connecticut.
Most notably, Alabama (8-1) has done something previously accomplished by only Oklahoma in 1990: beat two different teams ranked No. 1 in the same season. The Crimson Tide beat then-No. 1 North Carolina 103-101 in quadruple overtime on Nov. 27 and then-No. 1 Houston 71-65 on Saturday.
