Alabama’s men’s basketball team faces a mix of positive and negative prospects as they enter this week’s NCAA tournament.
On the downside, the Crimson Tide are entering the tournament with a less than stellar record, having lost four of their last six games. This shaky form doesn’t exactly instill confidence in their ability to advance deep into the tournament.
However, on the bright side, Alabama’s strong performances in January and February secured them a respectable 4-seed. This positioning grants them a favorable trajectory to potentially progress past the initial rounds and reach the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive year.
