Alabama drops in first AP Poll of March
Alabama went 1-1 this past week, dominating then-No. 21 Mississippi State at home and losing to then-No. 5 Tennessee on the road on a buzzer-beating shot. The 1-1 week caused the Crimson Tide to drop in this week’s AP Poll, going from No. 6 to No. 7.
Alabama remains in contention for a 1-seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament, and can clinch a double-bye in the SEC Tournament with a win over Florida this coming Wednesday. Only two regular season games remain for the Crimson Tide, the aforementioned game against the No. 5 Gators, and the regular season finale at No. 1 Auburn on Saturday.
