John Petty says every Alabama game for rest of the season is a ‘must-win’

Last week, the Alabama Crimson Tide lost by 19 at Mississippi State and by 18 at home to Florida, putting them at 15-10 overall and 6-6 in SEC play.

Now, they’re in a tough spot when it comes to NCAA Tournament standing, and each of their six remaining regular-season games are very important.

Sophomore G John Petty knows how important the Tide’s remaining games are. On Monday, Petty said he and his teammates consider every game a “must-win” from here on out:

John Petty: "We're looking at all of (our games) as a must-win. We know how important they are. … We're going to have to play our hardest. I feel like that loss Saturday put something in our guys — I can see it in their eyes. So, I feel like that's what we're going to do."

That task won’t be easy. Here’s a look at Alabama’s remaining games — at Texas A&M, vs. Vanderbilt, at South Carolina, vs. LSU, vs. Auburn and at Arkansas.

If the Tide can go 5-1 and win a couple of games in the SEC Tournament, they could still sneak into the March Madness field. However, their margin for error is razor-thin now.
