Alabama Fails to Complete Comeback, Falls to Florida 52-50 - Roll 'Bama Roll
The loss by 'Bama was likely a dagger in their NCAA Tournament chances, and possibly a dagger to Coach Anthony Grant's future at the Capstone.
That's about the size of it. Another NIT is staring Alabama squarely in the face. The Tide played well on the boards, but in the end the same old issues plagued the Tide down the stretch that we've seen for six years: failure to box out, lack of a true inside threat, and an end-game offensive set that took the ball out of our best shooter's hands. Three one-possession losses in nine days is, to say the least, dispiriting. I absolutely feel for these players.
Is Mel Tucker the Man Who Can Fix Alabama's Secondary? | Bleacher Report
After a year at LSU, Tucker spent four years at Ohio State, coaching defensive backs like Dustin Fox, Donnie Nickey and Chris Gamble to the NFL.
There's a lot of good stuff in here. Notable are the player reactions. If Coach Tucker can enthuse the defense to half the degree that Lane Kiffin did on the other side, then we're in good shape. Equally important, the hire permits Coach Smart to move back to coaching ILBs, where he is a stronger position coach.

College Football Playoff may not be SEC party some envisioned - ESPN
At the end of the day, the SEC didn’t have any dominant teams this season. It did have a handful of teams capable of winning a national championship, but most of those teams beat up on each other.
The issue wasn't that the SEC didn't have dominant teams; rather, the issue is that the nation didn't have any dominant teams, although TCU, Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State all were dominant at times. And, if we're being honest, the best team in the nation did win the whole enchilada.
