TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— The 2024-25 college basketball season officially concluded on Monday night with Florida defeating Houston in the National Championship.

Following its first-ever Final Four appearance last season, Alabama entered 2024-25 as the No. 2 team in the AP Preseason Poll––its highest-ever initial placement. The Crimson Tide ended nonconference play with an 11-2 record, including wins over three teams who were ranked at the time.

Practically every team was competitive against one another throughout SEC play as 12 of Alabama's 18 games were against an opponent who was ranked at the time. The Crimson Tide finished this crucial portion of the schedule with a 13-5 record.

After falling to Florida in the SEC Tournament quarterfinal, Alabama received the 2-seed in the East Region of the NCAA Tournament and defeated Robert Morris, Saint Mary's and BYU before falling to 1-seed Duke in the Elite Eight. The Crimson Tide finished the season with a 28-9 (13-5 SEC) record.

Alabama has been through many ups and downs this season, as it had the toughest strength of schedule in the country, but it also led the nation in points per game.

So, after a season filled with big moments, Alabama finished 2024-25 as the No. 6 team in the AP Top 25 and No. 6 in the Coaches Poll on Tuesday.

This story will be updated with the full AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll.
