Alabama’s 24-point loss Saturday at Oklahoma was the program’s most lopsided since a 26-point defeat to Kentucky in the 2016 SEC tournament, and halted what had been a nine-game winning streak.

The damage to the Tide’s NCAA tournament résumé, however, was minimal.

Alabama fell only two spots from No. 2 to No. 4 in Monday’s Associated Press men’s basketball poll, sliding behind No. 2 Tennessee and No. 3 Houston. Alabama was one of five top-10 teams that lost last week, and among nine in the top 15 to drop at least one game since last Monday’s poll.

The coaches poll will be released later Monday. Alabama was No. 2 in last week’s coaches poll, its highest ranking ever in that poll.

Alabama did not suffer much of a setback in major metrics, either, after Saturday’s loss. It fell one spot in the NET rankings, from No. 3 to No. 4. It traveled to Norman as the No. 3 team in KenPom.com’s rankings and emerged Monday as No. 5. And the Tide is No. 3 in both Sagarin ranking and is No. 6 in Bart Torvik’s T-Rank.

ESPN’s Joe Lunardi kept Alabama as a predicted No. 1 seed, and still the second-highest behind Purdue, in his updated NCAA tournament bracket projection. “Alabama used its mulligan at Oklahoma,” he wrote. Beyond Lunardi’s bracket, Alabama remains a No. 1 seed in all but one of the projected brackets compiled by BracketMatrix.com.

Alabama hosts Vanderbilt Tuesday night before heading back on the road to face LSU on Saturday. The Tide defeated both of those teams earlier this month.

The Tide (8-0) remains the SEC’s only undefeated team in conference play and with two wins this week would match its 10-0 start from two seasons ago.
