Just two short weeks ago, the Alabama Crimson Tide were firmly in the NCAA Tournament field.
Since then, the Tide have lost three-straight games and have fallen off the bubble. Now, they’re the No. 10 seed in the SEC Tournament and face a tough matchup against Ole Miss on Thursday.
During a media call on Wednesday, ESPN bracketology expert Joe Lunardi said he thinks Alabama needs two wins in Nashville to get back into the NCAA tourney conversation:
On a media call, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi said Alabama needs "two wins to realistically back in the serious conversation” for NCAA bid.

The problem? If Alabama manages to beat Ole Miss, the Tide will have to face No. 2 seed Kentucky on Friday. That won’t be an easy game.
However, if they do advance to meet the Wildcats, a win there could clinch a spot in the tourney field.
