Alabama men’s basketball might have fallen to No. 4 in the AP top 25 and the coaches poll, but the Crimson Tide didn’t change its spot in the latest bracketology projections per ESPN’s Joe Lunardi.
Lunardi kept Alabama as a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament field as well as the No. 2 overall seed. That is the same spot the NCAA Tournament committee members put the Crimson Tide in its rankings it released Saturday before the game “if the season ended today.”
Lunardi also has Duke and Florida as 1-seeds, but they are in the No. 3 and No. 4 overall seeds respectively, behind Alabama. Both the AP top 25 and the coaches poll ranked Duke and Florida ahead of the Crimson Tide.
Alabama picked up a 94-85 loss to the Tigers on Saturday, the first loss in about a month for the Crimson Tide. Now, it will turn its attention to No. 15 Missouri on Wednesday (8 p.m., SEC Network) at Mizzou Arena.
