No. 7 Alabama lost to No. 5 Florida, 99-94, in its final home game on Wednesday night at Coleman Coliseum. After the Crimson Tide’s second straight loss, Alabama head coach Nate Oats spoke to local reporters.

The Crimson Tide has lost four of its last six games, including its final home matchup of the season on Wednesday night.

One of Nate Oats' former Alabama basketball assistants is reportedly in the mix of candidates to be the head coach of FSU men's basketball.

Alabama men’s basketball hasn’t done much to inspire confidence of late. The Crimson Tide has lost its last two games and four of the past six, the latest being a 99-94 loss to No. 5 Florida on Wednesday at Coleman Coliseum. Nate Oats was asked how concerned he is about Alabama (23-7, 12-5 SEC) after the recent losses.

There is no shame in losing games against Missouri, Auburn, Tennessee and Florida. The Crimson Tide have even mixed in wins against #17 Kentucky and #24 Mississippi State during this stretch. That's just life in the SEC this year. Nate Oats isn't worried about the losses, but he is worried about how the Crimson Tide are losing these games.

Johni Broome and his Auburn teammates were seen celebrating Tennessee's buzzer-beater against Alabama basketball on social media this weekend.
