The Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team do not look well. The team that was at one point dominating top-10 opponents is now on a three-game losing streak and has been completely dropped from top-25 rankings.
Now 11-6, 2-3 in conference play, Nate Oats has. tough schedule ahead of him. The team will soon face a ranked LSU team at home and then travel to Missouri for a rematch against the Tigers, after Alabama dropped the first meeting.
Rebounding appears to be the biggest issue on this team, but questionable offensive decisions and sloppy play on both ends of the court have hurt this team
