Alabama is in great shape with only six games remaining in the 2023-2024 college basketball regular season. The team now ranks No. 13 in the latest Top 25 Coaches Poll by USA TODAY Sports, which means the Tide ranks above in-state rival, Auburn.

Four of Alabama’s final six games are against currently-ranked opponents. With a loose grip on first place in the SEC, the Tide needs to finish the regular season strong.
