The Alabama Crimson Tide are tied for their best start in SEC play since the 1955-1956 season as the team rushed out to an undefeated 11-0 conference record. The Tide stand two games clear of the Texas A&M Aggies and three games ahead of the Tennessee Volunteers with only seven games remaining.
Alabama’s dominance is much more impressive than just being undefeated though, they also are averaging a 22.3 margin of victory in those eleven games. That would be an outstanding margin of victory against mid-majors, let alone in one of the best conferences in the sport.
For comparison, the Volunteers have the second-best margin of victory in the SEC at 12.1 points per game, a whole ten points less than the Tide. Alabama’s next two games will be massive in clinching the regular season title as they travel to Auburn on Saturday and to No. 6 Tennessee next Wednesday.
Alabama basketball's average margin of victory in 11 SEC games is 22.3 points. The next highest is Tennessee at 12.1 points a game.
