After Alabama’s upset loss at Georgia in Athens last Tuesday, I wrote the following regarding the Crimson Tide’s postseason outlook: Alabama’s chances of playing its way up to a 3-seed in the NCAA Tournament just got a lot harder as well, as it will likely take a deep run in Nashville (assuming the committee hasn’t […]
