Alabama drops in final AP Poll before March Madness
The final AP Poll before the start of the NCAA Tournament came out on Monday afternoon, with Alabama dropping two spots from No. 5 to No. 7.
The drop comes after the Crimson Tide went 1-1 in the SEC Tournament in Nashville this past week, beating then-No. 15 Kentucky by 29 points in Friday’s quarterfinal round and following it up with a 22-point loss to then-No. 3 Florida in the semifinals.
