Alabama basketball had a shot at snagging a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but that dream ended after Florida dominated them in the SEC Tournament semifinals. After crushing Kentucky in the quarters, Alabama faced the Gators in what was basically a play-in game for that final top seed. Florida, however, had other plans, handing the Tide a brutal 104-82 loss—their second win over Alabama in just 10 days.

With that, Alabama is locked in as a No. 2 seed for March Madness, finishing the season at 25-8. Now, the only question left is which region they’ll land in and how their tournament path will shape up.

Before the Florida game, Alabama was the highest-ranked No. 2 seed in Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology, sitting at No. 5 overall. They’ll likely stay in that spot or drop to No. 6, depending on Tennessee’s standing after beating Auburn. As for where they’ll play, Alabama is expected to land in either the East or Midwest regions, with Duke and Houston likely taking the No. 1 seeds in those brackets. Now, it’s all about waiting for Selection Sunday to see where they’ll be heading.
