The Wildcats have eliminated Alabama from title contention in several past tournaments, including in 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Meanwhile, Alabama’s recent victories over top-ranked teams have raised their profile as a contender, but their upcoming matchups in the NCAA Tournament will be crucial in proving their ability to handle high-pressure situations.

As both teams prepare for March Madness, the contrast in their SEC Tournament histories adds intrigue to their tournament aspirations, with Alabama aiming to break the historical trend.
