What a difference three weeks can make.

Alabama baseball was unranked in every single poll just 21 days ago after getting swept by Kentucky. Now, after rattling off three straight ranked SEC wins, the Crimson Tide is in the top-10 of every single ranking.

Perfect Game USA has the Crimson Tide at No. 7, D1Baseball and Baseball America at No. 8, and USA Today and the National College Baseball Writers Association at No. 9. Alabama would be right in the mix to host a Super Regional if the season ended today.

The Crimson Tide hadn't won three straight conference series since 2023. The team is now 10-1 over the past 11 games and in line for a double-bye at the SEC Tournament.

Crimson Tide Roll Call: Tuesday, April 7, 2026

  • Former Alabama forward Mo Dioubate is entering the transfer portal after one season with Kentucky. Dioubate averaged 8.8 points and 5.5 rebounds for the Wildcats while playing the same "blue-collar" style of basketball that made him a fan favorite with the Crimson Tide.

Keon Ellis scored 19 points with eight assists and four rebounds for the Cavaliers in their 142-126 win over the Grizzlies on Monday night. Ellis has been a key rotational piece since being acquired by Cleveland this winter, averaging 25 minutes per game for a team looking to contend in the East.

  • Former Alabama women's basketball player Bri Hutchen is joining Kristy Curry's staff at USF. Hutchen averaged 4.3 points and 4.2 rebounds over her career in Tuscaloosa and was an assistant for Delaware before taking the job with the Bulls.
