After falling to Gonzaga 100-90 in the C.M. Newton Classic, Alabama basketball fell five spots to No. 9 in Monday's Associated Press poll.

Saturday's loss marks the second-ranked loss of the season for the Crimson Tide who fell to No. 2 UConn during the Phil Knight Invitational and then to the now-No. 11 Bulldogs.

Alabama was one of six SEC teams to be ranked in the polls this week as it was joined by No. 8 Tennessee, No. 10 Arkansas, No. 15 Mississippi State, No. 19 Kentucky and No. 23 Auburn.

In the coaches poll, the Crimson Tide fell to No. 10 and was joined by fellow conference teams No. 8 Arkansas, No. 11 Tennessee, No. 15 Mississippi State, No. 16 Kentucky and No. 24 Auburn.

Alabama will play its final home game of 2022 on Tuesday when its hosts Jackson State. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m.
