After dropping out of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll last week the Tigers were hoping to climb back to the top 25 with a good week of basketball.
That did not happen as they lost both of their games and received just 13 votes in the latest poll.
The Tigers opened the week with a hard-fought game against the Texas A&M Aggies but ultimately fell 83-78 in College Station. They had a chance to pick up a signature when Saturday in Neville Arena against Alabama but faded late in a 77-69 loss.
Speaking of Alabama, the Crimson Tide jumped to No. 1 in the rankings after their win over the Tigers. They are joined by Tennessee (No. 11) and Texas A&M (No. 25) in the top 25 while Missouri also received votes.
