Alabama jumps Auburn in latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll

Alabama basketball’s late-season success reflects in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

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.
