Alabama Basketball Moves Up in Polls After Undefeated Start

The Crimson Tide is 2-0 and rose in both major college basketball polls.

There's plenty Nate Oats wants to see Alabama basketball improve on, especially on the defense end, but one thing he is pleased with is the 2-0 start. 

With wins over Morehead State and Indiana State in the opening week of the college basketball season, the Crimson Tide moved up in both major college basketball polls from No. 24 to No. 22. 

Alabama is one of five SEC teams in the top-25.
