Alabama Basketball

I know this sounds like an excuse after a shocking loss to a lower seed (again). However, you must admit, we sure picked a strange time to go ice cold from beyond the 3-point line. We took 27 shots from 3-point range against San Diego State on Friday.

Alabama ends the season 31-6 and hangs its hat on the SEC regular season and SEC Tournament titles. It's the second time in three seasons the Crimson Tide has been eliminated by a lower seed in the Sweet 16 after UCLA eliminated the Crimson Tide in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

The request follows a groundbreaking report showing inconsistencies between testimony brought forth in an earlier hearing and video footage from the evening.

Just before tipoff of Alabama's first NCAA Tournament game, Kai Spears had to release his own statement about the NYT article released last week.

The Crimson Tide is the Louisville regional with No. 5 seeded San Diego State, No. 6 seeded Creighton and No. 15 seeded Princeton. Its the 10th Sweet 16 appearance in program history.

Alabama advances to the Sweet Sixteen for the second time in three seasons after defeating Maryland, 73-51.

Don Hartley: "But instead of reveling in the aura of the winningest season in Alabama Men’s Basketball history, [Miller] is hounded by one night’s lack of good judgement."

Alabama will take on No. 8 seed Maryland on Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The game will be held in Birmingham and the winner will advance to Louisville for the Sweet 16.

Byrne's statement is the fourth today flatly denying the legitimacy of the Times' report.

The saga following the Wednesday New York Times report continues even as Bama is just hours from tip off in the NCAA Tournament.
