Possible candidates.

1956 Alabama. Jerry Harper and the undefeated "Rocket 8" ride again.

1975 Alabama. Many regard as CM Newton's finest team, Final Four worthy but ran into undefeated Indiana in a tournament before seeding. Reggie King, Leon Douglas, TR Dunn.

1985 Alabama. 2 straight Sweet Sixteens for Wimp's troupe of Derrick McKey, Buck Johnson, Bobby Lee Hurt, Mark Gottfried, Jim Farmer and Terry Coner.

1991 Alabama. Latrell Sprewell, Hollywood Robinson and Robert Horry lead a 3x SEC champions to the Sweet Sixteen.

2002 Alabama. Gottfried's SEC Championship Tide achieve the first ever AP #1 rank thanks to Mo Williams, Kennedy Winston, Chuck Davis, Erwin Dudley and Antoine Pettway.

2004 Alabama. Elite Eight Gang. Davis, Winston and Pettway again with Earnest Shelton, Jermareo Davidson.... and walk on dunk machine Jason Reese.

2012 Alabama. Anthony Grant's high flying, undefeated at home, lone NCAA trip, high water season. JaMychal Green, Tony Mitchell, Releford, Lacey, Randoph, Jacobs, Coooooooooper!

2018 Alabama. Why use 5 players when you can try with 3? Collin Sexton, Herb Jone, John Petty, Donta Hall, Riley Norris.

2023 Alabama. #1 in the Nation. Nate Oats delivers Alabama's first number one seed along with an SEC Championship. Brandon Miller, Mark Sears, Noah Clowney, Quinerly, Bediako, Bradley, Gurley and Co. restore Bama to the top.

2024. Final Four. A roster less NBA studded than last year, but Sears, Estrada, Nelson, Griffen, Pringle and Wrightsell, achive what no Bama (men's) team has ever done.... at long last, the Final Four.


Other?

If I was neutral.... and because it would be a GREAT situational "Epic Moments of the Game" type challenge mode, the 2018 Collin Sexton team for the 3 man game vs Minnesota would be my pick.

Probably one of the more notable crazy moments Alabama has been involved with in college basketball history.

I saw in person Bama beat highly ranked Kentucky in 81 or 82. Went to the Bama vs University of New Orleans NCAA tourney game in Birmingham in I think ‘87 when Farmer and Gottfried rained 3s all night. So I’m biased toward Wimp and the 80s.

For me, 91 and 23. Because these are the players I would want to play with.
Strong honorable mention to 85. It’s when I became a bama basketball fan. First college game I went to, I got buck johnson autograph. The first and only autograph I’ve ever asked for. He gladly did it. Didn’t say much. I think he was hurt. A few years later I would get to be ole miss’ girls ballboy and then the men’s. Got to see shaq as a freshman and Chris Jackson play in college. Saw Jackson play in high school. He is the one player I’d like to see in “today’s NBA”.
But the player I’d want to play the game with is James “Hollywood” Robinson. Him and Gary Waites pre and late post knee injury was underrated.
On a side note, van chancellor was the coach at ole miss women’s. Kind of a dick. Shoutout to Kimsey O’Neal. Best female basketball player I had seen to that point in my life.
Ed Murphy was the coach for the men. It was the Rod Barnes, Gerald Glass, Tim Jumper days. I got to see some good basketball.

Gah, dudes like Keith Askins, Alvin Lee, Melvin Cheatum.
Got a chance to play puck up basketball with Ennis Whatley at Fort Meade in Maryland. Dude would just play the point and facilitate everybody unless he got behind anthem he’d take a couple of steps past half court and rain threes.
Nice guy. Think he was a preacher in the area

I always forget Gottfried was a transfer. An Oral Roberts man before giving us a couple seasons.
