Welcome to Tournament Tuesday, a weekly look at where Alabama basketball stands in the NCAA tournament picture. Each week, Tide Illustrated will break down the Crimson Tide’s resume while looking at where it is projected in this year’s 68-team bracket.

The Crimson Tide is rolling as February is upon us.

Despite a mid-January stumble with a home loss to then-No. 25 Ole Miss, Alabama has bounced back with five straight wins, including two Quadrant 1 victories in the past two weeks.

Alabama confirmed its road dominance Wednesday night, defeating Mississippi State 84-80 in a tight matchup in Starkville. The Crimson Tide then turned around and largely controlled Georgia, with different players stepping up in each game.

Transfer guard Chris Youngblood scored 23 points Wednesday against Mississippi State, with all seven field goals coming from 3-point range. On Saturday afternoon against Georgia, freshman big man Aiden Sherrell sparked a 14-0 run, scoring 10 points in just under two and a half minutes in the first half to help Alabama build a lead it never relinquished.

As Alabama enters what is arguably the toughest stretch of the regular season, let’s look closer at its resume and position in the NCAA tournament landscape.

The race for the SEC title is shaping up to be a two-team battle within the Yellowhammer State. Auburn extended its eight-game unbeaten streak in conference play with road wins over LSU and Ole Miss last week but will face a tough test at home against top-10-ranked Florida this week.

Missouri staked its claim as the kings of Mississippi, knocking off Ole Miss and Mississippi State this past week to remain in contention for the regular-season title. The Tigers are still set to face Alabama midway through February, but their early-season loss to Auburn could hurt them in a potential tie-breaking scenario.

Finally, Florida hit another speed bump. In almost déjà vu fashion, they suffered a 20-point road loss to Tennessee after beating them by 30 points earlier this season.
