E123 BH Alabama on a 7-game winning streak with big upcoming game on Saturday at TN Bama John is back from a week away in Jamaica. Ya Man and everything little thing gonna be alright. Bama is hot right now on a 7-game winning streak highlighted by Bama’s Double OT win over Arkansas a week ago and then going to LSU and winning and then crushing Miss St at home last night. And Bama won the last two games without labaron philon, so much kudos to Bama for getting two wins without Philon. Bama now is 21-7 overall and 11-4 in the SEC with a 7-game SEC winning streak and hot at the right time. Great wins for the Tide over the last 9 days as Bama beats Arkansas in double OT, then wins at LSU, and caps it off with a blow out win at home over Mississippi State. The pivotal game in this 7-game winning streak is the double OT win over Arkansas, a game that Bama could have lost and where Bama trailed by 10 pts at half before coming back and taking a 5 pt lead in the 2nd half and then blowing the lead and surviving to get the win in 2 OT. I will talk about that key win at the end of the episode. But first I will talk about the win at LSU and then talk about the blow win over Miss State to run the winning streak to 7 games. Let’s put this 7-game winning streak into perspective. After a blow out loss in Gainsville to FL, Bama came back and beat Texas A&M at home by 3 pts for a bounce-back win to start the 7-game winning streak. Then Bama went to Auburn and won by 4 pts for win number 2 in the 7-game winning streak. After that, Bama went to Oxford and blew out Ole Miss by 19 pts for number 3. Next Bama beat SC by 14 pts at home for number 5. Then the pivotal win over Arkansas for 5 which I will discuss in detail at the end of this episode. Then On February 21, 2026, No. 25 Alabama defeated LSU 90-83 in Baton Rouge, marking their sixth consecutive victory. Then after the big win over LSU, Alabama dominated Mississippi State 100–75 on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa. Despite again playing without leading scorer Labaron Philon (leg injury), the Crimson Tide extended their winning streak to seven games and secured their 10th consecutive home victory over the Bulldogs. With this win, Alabama improved to 21–7 (11–4 SEC) with a 7-game winning streak and moved into a tie for second place in the conference standings. No. 25 Alabama outlasted No. 20 Arkansas 117–115 in a double-overtime "instant classic" on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide overcame a 14-point second-half deficit to secure their fifth consecutive victory in one of the highest-scoring games of the SEC season. In the final minutes of regulation on February 18, 2026, Alabama appeared to have the game under control after erasing a 14-point second-half deficit. This win marked Bama’s fifth in a row and kept the winning streak alive which is now 7 in a row. Here are the positives from the 7-game winning streak. Bama’s offense is rolling. The Bama top six players of Philon, Holloway, Jemison, Allen, Sherrell, and Wrightsell are all playing well and contributing. Lack of bigs and lack of depth in the front court – Finally, Rick Barnes owns Nate Oates. TN has beaten AL five straight times and Barnes has outcoached Oates in all five games. Up next: Alabama plays Tennessee at TN in Knoxville on Sat, Feb 28 at 5 pm. Bama needs to beat Tennessee on the road and keep stacking wins to improve its seeding for the tournament and to show Alabama can beat TN and Rick Barnes and that Bama can win big games against teams with bigs that play tough, physical defense. Bama is in great position to finish 2nd in the SEC and to play itself into a 3 seed or a 2 seed for the NCAA’s. Bama currently is slotted for a 4 seed in the NCAA’s.
