Alabama basketball NET ranking: Where Crimson Tide land in rankings, Quadrant 1 record, more
Alabama basketball has collected a decent resume through a difficult non-conference schedule, but also has some blemishes.
The Crimson Tide are ranked 22nd in the NET rankings, an NCAA tool that the selection committee will use to varying degrees of importance in March.
Losses to Missouri, Georgia and Iona will be notable in the Tide's NET resume, but plenty of Quadrant 1 opportunities are still available.
Take a look at the NET rankings profile for Alabama.

What am I looking at?
A full explanation of the NET rankings can be found here, but the most important things to understand (we're led to believe, since the NET formula is not public) are the quadrant meanings. You'll hear "Quad 1 opponent" or some form of it a lot between now and Selection Sunday, and the quadrants are broken down below.
Quadrant 1: Home Ranked No. 1-30; Neutral 1-50; Away 1-75
Quadrant 2: Home Ranked No. 31-75; Neutral 51-100; Away 76-135
