Where does Alabama basketball rank after the Players Era Festival?

Alabama basketball was ranked No. 10 in the latest edition of the Associated Press Top 25 poll. The Crimson Tide fell one spot after losing 2-1 in the Players Era Festival tournament last week.

The Tide (6-2) also fell in the US LBM Coaches poll, finishing at No. 12 after wins over Rutgers and then No. 6 Houston before suffering a loss to Oregon in the championship game.

Kansas remained No. 1 in the AP poll and improved to 7-0, including a win over Duke last week. Alabama’s archrival Auburn jumped to No. 2 after an impressive performance at the Maui Invitational. The Tigers defeated then-No. 5 Iowa State, No. 12 North Carolina and Memphis to win the championship.

SEC peers Tennessee and Kentucky climbed to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, in the AP poll. Both the Volunteers and Wildcats are also off to 7-0 starts this season. Marquette (8-0) rounded out the top five.

Alabama will look to pick up two wins with two games remaining in the gauntlet of its non-conference schedule. The Tide will first travel to Chapel Hill, North Carolina on Wednesday to face the No. 12 Tar Heels as part of the SEC/ACC Challenge. UNC (4-3) lost its last two games to Auburn and Michigan State and will look to avenge its loss to Alabama in the Sweet 16 of last year’s NCAA Tournament.

Following its trip to North Carolina, Alabama will play its first game back at Coleman Coliseum since Nov. 11 when it takes on No. 21 Creighton on Dec. 14. The Bluejays (5-3) also participated in the Players Era Festival, dropping games to San Deigo State and No. 20 Texas A&M and picking up a win over Notre Dame. Creighton fell out of the top 25 this week.

Alabama will face North Carolina on Wednesday at the Dean E. Smith Center at 6:15 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
