Alabama falls to Florida, comes up with the March Madness to increase doubts about Tide 'chances

Alabama had four of his last six games registered in the NCAA tournament last season and won four in Big Dance in a row, while he reached the first fourth for the program.

The Crimson Tide No. 7 will hope for a similar resurrection of the late season in 2025 after suffering in the last six games in the last six games in the last six in the last six games.

It is not a shame to fall the gator that is firmly looking for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament sent the Vols to a No. 2 seeds. However, there is increasing evidence that Alabama has more weaknesses than it showed starts during a 21-1 seconds.

A brutaler who is supposed to close the regular guest has taken the imperfections of the Crimson Tide, which were again issued against the Gator. Instead of a solemn farewell to the program legend Mark Sears, Alabama (23-7, 12-5) 19-10 was blown up on the offensive glass and 22-10 was replaced in fast break points.

Bama, which plays at the fastest pace of the nation, was beaten in his own game and was hit on a bunch of 50-50 balls. It seems increasingly that the defensive improvement that Alabama showed during this season could have been a Mirage. It could be just enough to scratch the purple tide from the list of “teams that could win everything”.

The Gators scored 58 points on Bama only two weeks after Missouri 110 hangs on the Crimson Tide. Since a defeat against the competition Auburn on February 15th, Alabama has shown the number 79 in defensive efficiency, according to BartTorvik.com.

To be clear, Alabama will not prevent Alabama from putting together a deep NCAA tournament run. It certainly doesn't have last season.

Despite his 3-point shooting percentage this season, 37.3% and the senior striker, Grant Nelson, who is fighting high expectations, Alabama still has the firepower to keep pace with the poor defense. The Crimson Tide has reached 100 points six times with six high -Maor opponents and won all of these games.

The problem is when defense and relaxation on the way to another offensive possession becomes an inconvenience. If the Crimson Tide really strives to reduce the networks on April 7 in San Antonio, they have to protect better.

They are good -even a great offensive time -but not the elite from the other side to overcome the average defense effort against Elite opposition.

Against Florida, the perpetrator was the transition defense and relaxation. With a 79-76 defeat in Tennessee on Saturday it was a bad execution in the late game.

With Missouri's loss, the problem was that Alabama could not stop a nosebleed bleeding when the tiger shot a whopping 60.3%. When the Crimson tide fell against Auburn in a highly expected showdown No. 1 against No. 2, the Crimson Tide could not buy a 3 pointer (5 of 26 from Deep).

Defense is the biggest problem, but it's not the only problem. The Crimson Tide has dealt with some general slop in the past few weeks.

A year ago, a change in the landscape did miracles for the Crimson Tide. After Alabama was derived to the NCAA tournament and the SEC competition and was removed before the Sec competition.

Alabama has to hope that the story is repeated. But trying to find the “on” switch in March is a dangerous game and it could get worse before getting better.

Next is a remaining with No. 1 Auburn.

The Tigers won the first meeting with nine and will be much motivated to end the Sweep on their senior citizens' day. If Alabama ever gives a time to channel the best version of himself, it is Saturday.

“I would expect to be much better in Auburn on Saturday,” said Alabama coach Nate Oats.

Whether the crimson tide against the tigers is really better becomes revealing, because the pencil is turned upside down, the eraser is directed to the paper.

In the way the last six games for Alabama went, it will need something special for the Crimson Tide to keep their place in the list of “teams that could win everything”.
