re: Where does Alabama basketball rank in the SEC?

They won the SEC tournament many times after it was revived in the late 70's. From 1975 or so to around 2000 Alabama was a solid top 20 program.

Kentucky is the only blue blood program.

Florida and Arkansas are next.

Then LSU, UGA and Alabama.

I would say Alabama is a place where you can make the NCAA madness 8 of 10 years with a good coach.
