TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— After finishing non-conference play on a high note with an 11-2 record, Alabama men's basketball was placed at No. 5 in the AP Top 25 Poll and No. 6 in the Coaches Poll after Week 8.

This past week Alabama throttled South Carolina 88-68 and narrowly escaped then-No. 10 Texas A&M 94-88. The results of this week moved Alabama up to No. 4 in the AP Top 25 Poll, and the Tide remained at No. 5 in the Coaches Poll on Monday.
