Nate Oats has Alabama back in the AP Top 25. The Tide never slipped off the radar in the important KenPom and NET Ratings, but the public perception of the media poll is good for the program’s image. The Tide Coach knows the climb back to their December form isn’t done. Turnovers are high, 3pt Shots made are low, but the ship has been righted. Another challenging week of games await. Miss State Wednesday at home…State if fighting for their Tournament life. Then a road trip to Kentucky. Anything but 0-2 should keep things calm inside this guys head. – Jim Dunaway
