Where Alabama ranks in ESPN’s Basketball Power Index following blowout loss to Oklahoma

Alabama makes a slight drop in ESPN’s Basketball Power Index following a blowout loss to Oklahoma.

[autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama men’s basketball team currently sit with an 18-3 record overall and an undefeated 8-0 record in SEC play.

The Crimson Tide are coming off an embarrassing performance on Saturday in Norman at the hands of the Oklahoma Sooners and need a bounce-back win in a bad way.

Next up for the Tide is a conference matchup with Vanderbilt in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday night.

Before Alabama tips things off against the Commodores, let’s look at the latest update of ESPN’s Basketball Power Index.

According to ESPN, the BPI is a “measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of performance going forward. BPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Strength of Record (SOR) is a measure of team accomplishment based on how difficult a team’s W-L record is to achieve. Game predictions account for opponent strength, pace of play, site, travel distance, day’s rest, and altitude, and are used to simulate the season 10,000 times to produce season projections. Numbers update daily.”

Here is a breakdown of where Alabama ranks in the BPI.

Alabama guard Jahvon Quinerly returns to action for first time since tearing ACL

After suffering a torn ACL during March Madness, Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly returned to action for the first time in a little over seven months.

It was somewhat of a surprise to see Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly on the floor of Tuesday night’s game against South Alabama. The expectation was that he would return by conference play in a few weeks. The New Jersey native suffered a torn ACL in the Tide’s first-round matchup in the NCAA Tournament against Notre Dame.

It has been just over seven months since Quinerly’s injury. However, it doesn’t appear to be slowing him down. “It means the world man… it’s a really good feeling. These guys, they’re my family. Good feeling,” he said following the win against South Alabama.

Quinerly played four minutes on Tuesday night and was able to grab one rebound. He also mentioned after the game that this year’s team has the potential to be something special. “Our length this year is very much like our Sweet 16 team. Long guys all over the court. I think this group is willing to learn a little bit better than last year’s group. Guys just willing to take the constructive criticism from a coach or teammate,” he added.

If that is any indication of what the Tide can achieve this season, this could be a very special one to say the least. Nate Oats’ squad has already presented challenges on the defensive end of the floor this season and has showcased the potential to put up a lot of points.

The addition of Quinerly should bode well for the Tide as they enter a tough non-conference stretch starting soon.

Two Alabama basketball players listed as Preseason All-SEC selections

On Wednesday, Alabama’s Jahvon Quinerly and Brandon Miller were listed as Preseason All-SEC selections.

Alabama has seen a fair amount of success within the basketball programs since Nate Oats became the team’s head coach in 2019. Not only has there been just success, but there has also been a lot of talent over the years.

On Wednesday, two current Alabama basketball players, Jahvon Quinerly and Brandon Miller, were named to the Preseason All-SEC Second Team. Both are expected to have key roles on the basketball team this season.

Miller was a McDonald’s All-American last season out of Cane Ridge High School in Antioch, Tennessee. The versatile forward has a similar frame to former Alabama fan-favorite Herb Jones. His skill set will likely be used in similar ways to Jones’s. However, he does bring a scoring prowess as well, so he has a lot of high expectations as he enters his freshman season.

As for Quinerly, this will not be his first season in an Alabama uniform. He has played in two seasons with the Crimson Tide and has cemented himself as one of the best scorers in the league. He attacks the glass and uses his finesse to create open-shot opportunities for his teammates.

Unfortunately, Alabama will be without Quinerly for non-conference play, At the end of last season, Quinerly suffered a torn ACL. As a result, his return is set for late December with hopes to have him back by the time conference play begins.

Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly still on track to return for SEC play

Alabama PG Jahvon Quinerly is reportedly on pace to return by SEC play for the Crimson Tide.

On Tuesday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported that Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly isn’t practicing yet. However, he did report that head coach Nate Oats said, “(Jahvon Quinerly) is still on track to return for the SEC schedule and maybe a little sooner.”

Quinerly originally began his college career at Villanova. However, he transferred to Alabama after his freshman season. Since he arrived in Tuscaloosa, he has started in 34 games. Quinerly has averaged 13.4 points per game and shot 44.5% from the field.

Last season, he averaged a career-high with 13.8 points per game while making 27 starts. His season came to an end in Alabama’s round-one matchup against Notre Dame. He sustained a torn Achilles tendon that ended his redshirt-sophomore season.

Now, he is planning to return to action by the start of conference play. The Crimson Tide is coming off of an NCAA Tournament appearance. There are high hopes for the basketball program this season. Quinerly will certainly be a huge addition to the rotation when he returns to action.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor Jahvon Quinerly’s injury and provide the latest as it is reported.

Alabama Basketball: 2022-2023 SEC schedule rotation

Alabama MBB 2022-2023 schedule rotations announced

The Alabama Men’s Basketball team has received their schedule rotation for the 2022-23 SEC season. The rotation will include nine games at Coleman Colosseum and nine games on the road. Some of the marquee matchups on the schedule are home and away’s with both Arkansas and Auburn as well as at Tennessee, and hosting both Florida and Kentucky.

The Tide finished the 2021-22 campaign going 9-9 in the conference, which was good for a sixth-place finish. They were then knocked out of the SEC tournament by Vanderbilt in the first round and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Notre Dame. A disappointing end to what was a very promising season at one point.

The Tide does look to bounce back this year with a much deeper tournament run and more consistent play. [autotag]JD Davison[/autotag], [autotag]Jaden Shackelford[/autotag], [autotag]Keon Ellis[/autotag], and a few others are gone so the team we see in 2022 will be all new faces with the exception of [autotag]Jahvon Quinerly[/autotag].

Nate Oats and his squad have been recruiting incredibly well and the boys are ready for a massive 2022-23 campaign.
