Alabama went 21-3 overall and 14-0 in conference and finished ranked 5th in 1956. No NCAA Tournament.
Alabama went 18-8 overall and 13-5 in the SEC in 1972. No NCAA Tournament.
Alabama went 22-8 overall and 13-5 in the SEC in 1973. No NCAA Tournament.
Alabama went 22-4 overall and 15-3 in the SEC in 1974. Finished ranked 14th. No NCAA Tournament.
A 3 year period of going 62-20 overall and 41-13 in league play and zero NCAA Tournaments shows what they were dealing with.

One of the more cruel seasons in SEC Basketball. Teams could still host and play in the Regional tournament on their home court as national Champion NC State did. Alabama hosted the 1974 Mideast Regional. At that time an SEC title in effect put you in the Sweet 16.Alabama shared the title with Vanderbilt. But Vandy won both games, 73-72 and 67-65.
Well, we'll go to the NIT. Still perceived as a great tourney in the age of one bid per conference.Nope. NCAA had a rule if you host a tournament game, your team cannot go to New York an dthe NIT. 22-4, #14, SEC Co-Champs. Nothing.
