The state of Alabama had a good day on Saturday, that is if you root for the namesake university.
Mere hours after upsetting the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs on the football field, they took to the hardwood to upset the No. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs on the basketball court.
Alabama was rewarded in the polls following the win over the Zags, moving back into the top 10 to No. 9 in the most recent edition of the AP Poll.
The SEC has the most ranked teams in the country, surpassing all other conferences with seven teams ranked in the top 25.
