The Alabama Crimson Tide entered Auburn Arena coming off its best performance of the season on Saturday, but in what has now become characteristic fashion, the Tide was unable to string together a consecutive performance and fell to Auburn 100-81.

The Alabama Crimson Tide entered Saturday's contest with the No. 4 Baylor Bears coming off its worst regular season loss in the KenPom Era. The Tide shook off Tuesday's lackluster effort and brought the fight to the defending national champions.

The Crimson Tide moves to 13-6 (4-3 SEC) on the year after taking down the Missouri Tigers, 86-76, at home in Coleman on Saturday.

The Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball team defeated the visiting Oakland Golden Grizzlies by a score of 86 to 59 at Coleman Coliseum on Friday night.

Just before tip-off, Alabama honored the late Luke “Fluffapotamus” Ratliff by presenting his mom Pam with a plaque and by dedicating the seat the super fan sat in to his memory. Ratliff passed away in March due to complications from COVID-19 after attending nearly every game – home and away- that the basketball team played during his years as an Alabama student. “He was more than just a fan,” Oats said. “He was a part of us. It felt like he was a part of the program.”

Excitement was in the air in Foster Auditorium as the Alabama men's and women's basketball program celebrated Tide Tipoff 2021. Shooting contests, skills competitions and James Spann stimulated the Crimson Tide faithful who are excited for the new season to get started.

Alabama freshman JD Davison point guard has yet to shoot a basketball for the Crimson Tide but he has already made several moves to profit off his Name, Image and Likeness.

While most of the focus is on defending the 2020 football national championship we are now officially 100 days away from tipping off the Alabama basketball season. The Crimson Tide is looking to defend its SEC championship and build on last season's Sweet 16 appearance.

The NCAA changed the landscape of college sports earlier in the month when it ruled that athletes would be able to profit off their Name, Image and Likeness and maintain their college eligibility. Alabama incoming freshman JD Davison took to Instagram to announce a partnership Moneyball Sportswear.

Beginning July 1, 2021 college athletes were allowed to take advantage and market their own name, image and likeness. Previously athletes were unable to monetize their image without compromising their eligibility. Davison is one of many Alabama athletes to announce partnerships in the first few weeks of the NIL-era.
