The Tide suffered heavy graduation losses in the off-season. Latrell Sprewell, Robert Horry, and Marcus Webb were all drafted into the NBA, and James Sanders, Bryant Lancaster, and Marcus Campbell all graduated. Key holdovers were junior guard James "Hollywood" Robinson and sophomore forward Jason Caffey. Key signees were freshmen Roy Rogers, Bryan Passink, Anthony Brown, and Marvin Orange, and junior college transfer Shon Peck-Love.

The Tide defeated South Carolina in the first round of the 1993 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament final, but lost in the next round to Vanderbilt.
