NCAA Tournament

Alabama men's basketball has not shot well from three so far this tournament, but does that mean the Tide are due for a big night?

While Oats and the Crimson Tide focus on playing BYU in the Sweet 16, assistant coach Preston Murphy is actively hunting in the transfer portal.

Despite Barker's heroic efforts, the Terrapins were too strong to hold off, closing out the game with a 111-108 victory in a heart-stopping finish.

With the Crimson Tide making its third straight sweet 16, one player has been with the Crimson Tide for all three runs - Mark Sears.

Six Alabama players scored double-digit points, with Nate Oats emphasizing the depth Alabama had in the 14-point win.

The Crimson Tide rolled past the Gaels en route to a third consecutive sweet 16 for the second time in program history.

The Crimson Tide will roll into the sweet 16 for the third straight season thanks to a defensive battle dictated by the Tide's dominance on the glass.

Wrightsell said the decision was not easy to return to Alabama, but this year's decision will be much tougher.

The Crimson Tide will have its toughest rebounding test so far in the tournament against Saint Mary's on Sunday.

Alabama's big man was the savior on Friday, but is still not 100 percent for Sunday against Saint Mary's.
