Alabama basketball takes slight tumble in AP Poll, stays steady in Coaches
The Alabama men’s basketball team has dropped in the latest AP Poll, which was released on Monday morning. The fall wasn’t that far though, as the Crimson Tide fell from No. 13 to No. 14 while also staying at No. 13 in the Coaches Poll.
Once again, there were six SEC teams ranked in the top 25 of the AP Poll, but now the Coaches Poll has joined it with Florida now sitting at No. 24 on Monday. Joining Alabama and the Gators in the AP Poll includes Tennessee (No. 4), Auburn (No. 11), Kentucky (No. 16) and South Carolina (No. 18). UA still has the Vols and Florida left on the schedule, as well as a road game versus Ole Miss and a home matchup against Arkansas.
