Alabama basketball’s 2021-2022 regular season has come to a close, and it did so on a bit of a sour note with a road loss to Will Wade LSU to finish 19-12 on the season.
The Crimson Tide will enter the SEC Men’s Conference Tournament as a No. 6 seed and will face the winner of Georgia and Vanderbilt.
There are numerous inconsistencies with this Alabama team that must be address before the conference tournament, but certainly before the NCAA Tournament.
