Alabama basketball fans were left scratching their heads after the team's recent exhibition game against Florida State. Why wasn't senior center Noah Williamson, a key addition from Bucknell, even in uniform? The Crimson Tide secured a thrilling 109-105 victory at Boutwell Auditorium, but the absence of Williamson's presence in the paint was palpable.

The team hasn't released an official timeline for his return, but his absence has already sparked debates among fans. Is Williamson's absence a precautionary measure, or is there a deeper concern? And here's where it gets controversial: some fans are questioning whether the team underestimated the impact of his absence. What do you think? Is Williamson's return the key to Alabama's success this season, or can the team thrive without him? Let us know in the comments below!
