Yahoo Sports NCAA tournament selection committee chairman says the No. 1 team is Alabama
The Alabama Crimson Tide suffered its first loss of the season in SEC play last Wednesday on the road against the Tennessee Volunteers. While the loss hurts, Alabama still has a one-game lead in the conference and controls its own destiny.
Fortunately, the loss to Tennessee didn’t change much in the eyes of the NCAA tournament selection committee as chairman and Bradley AD Chris Reynolds said, “The No. 1 team is Alabama, on the strength of 13 wins in Quad 1 and 2. They have a very strong resume, and that win at Houston put them over the top.”
Alabama’s resume has been incredibly impressive all year, especially with the Quad 1 and 2 wins. They played arguably the toughest out-of-conference schedule featuring the likes of Michigan State, Gonzaga, North Carolina and Houston as well as playing in one of the toughest conferences in America.
With games still against Arkansas, Auburn and Texas A&M the Tide will have a chance to add a couple more big wins to their resume before selection Sunday.
