Alabama Basketball: Nine games to close out the regular season; why the Tide should avoid another typical February stumble.
For the Alabama basketball team, this season’s SEC Tournament should be a segue and a prelude to more important games. It would take a major, late-season stumble for the SEC Tournament to have any significant impact on the Tide’s NCAA Tournament dreams. Even after the loss to Oklahoma, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has the Tide as an NCAA Tournament 2-seed. There is zero indication the 14-4 Alabama Crimson Tide will have a serious stumble in its last nine regular-season games.
