Alabama Falls Out of AP Top 25 After Getting Shellacked by Florida on Sunday

The Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball team fell out of the AP Poll for the first time in 42 weeks, ending the fifth-longest active streak in the country, after Alabama was shellacked by the Florida Gators 100-77 in the Stephen O'Connell Center on Sunday afternoon. Alabama's midweek victory over the Missouri Tigers in Coleman Coliseum wasn't enough to save the Crimson Tide from falling out of the AP Poll.
