TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WIAT) — For the first time since the 2002-03 season, the University of Alabama men’s basketball is ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll.

It’s been 20 years since the Crimson Tide reached the coveted No. 1 spot in college basketball. Since Nate Oats first became head coach in 2019, Alabama has had a record of 83-39, (45-21 SEC), with a SEC regular season and tournament championship in the 2020-21 season. Oats has also helped produce two NBA lottery picks.

Under former coach Mark Gottfried in the 2002-02 season, Bama got off to a 9-0 start to earn them the No. 1 ranking in the country, where they stayed from December 25, 2002 until January 1, 2003 before losing to Utah in Salt Lake City.

Here’s a look at some of the things that were happening across the country the last time Alabama was ranked No. 1:

Twitter has removed President Donald Trump’s tweet of a Nickelback meme aimed at former Vice President Joe Biden because of a copyright complaint. The removed post, which featured the group’s 2015 music video “Photograph,” showed singer Chad Kroeger holding an edited photo of Biden, his son Hunter, a Ukrainian gas executive and another man. A Twitter spokesperson on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019, said it responded “to valid copyright complaints sent to us by a copyright owner or their authorized representatives.” (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Sean Kilpatrick)
