Alabama basketball sticks at No. 2 in latest AP Poll
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The Alabama men’s basketball team (25-4, 15-1 SEC) remains at No. 2 in the latest AP Poll, which was released on Monday morning. The Crimson Tide went 2-0 this past week, winning close games against South Carolina (78-76 OT) and Arkansas (86-83).
Alabama wasn’t the only team to not move. In fact, the entire top 5 remained the same from last week with Purdue being the only team to drop a game. In total, there are now four SEC teams ranked in the top 25 after Kentucky (No. 23) joined Alabama, Tennessee (No. 12) and Texas A&M (No. 24).

Alabama has a tough two-game stretch to wrap up the regular season.
On Wednesday, the Crimson Tide will welcome Auburn (19-10, 9-7 SEC) to Coleman Coliseum before going on the road to take on a red-hot Texas A&M (21-8, 13-3 SEC). The Aggies just lost 69-62 to Mississippi State on Saturday, but they had won 15 of their previous 17 games before that, including six straight.
Auburn, on the other hand, has lost seven of its last 10 games, including a 32-point loss to Kentucky this weekend. The tipoff time for that game on Wednesday has been set for 6 p.m. CT (7 p.m. ET), and it will once again air on ESPN 2.
