Alabama Basketball Remains Unranked in AP Top 25, Receives 18 Voting Points

Only three teams in the Southeastern Conference were ranked in this week's AP Top 25, with Auburn ranking No. 1, Kentucky at No. 5 and Tennessee at No. 19.

After losing at No. 1 Auburn and No. 5 Kentucky, Alabama basketball is once again unranked as the latest edition of the AP Top 25 was released on Monday morning. The Crimson Tide garnered a total of 18 voting points, seventh-most in teams ranked outside the top 25.

Around the rest of the Southeastern Conference, Auburn remains the top-ranked team in the country with a total of 1,506 points and 48 first-place votes. Kentucky is the second-highest SEC team, coming in at No. 5.

All the way down at No. 19 is the third and final SEC team ranked in the AP Top 25 in Tennessee. While not ranked, Arkansas received 74 voting points — good for second-best among teams outside the top 25 — while LSU tallied 11 points.

In the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll, Alabama basketball was also unranked, but received 28 total voting points to finish fourth-best outside of the top 25 teams.

Auburn fell from No. 1 to No. 2 in the Coaches Poll despite defeating both Alabama and Georgia last week. Meanwhile, Kentucky rose three spots from No. 7 to No. 4.

Tennessee is the lowest-ranked SEC team in the Coaches Poll, coming in at No. 18. Arkansas received one less voting point than Alabama with 27, while LSU received four points.
