We now know that Alabama Basketball landed the top overall seed in the 2023 NCAA Tournament field, the first time in program history that they’ve even made the top seed line. What Nate Oats has done this season, and with this program in such a short time, is nothing short of remarkable.
While all NCAA Tournament draws are difficult, Alabama got a relatively favorable bracket as the top seed should. After what should be a lay-up in round one, Alabama will get the winner of Maryland, who finished 5th in the Big 10, and West Virginia, who finished 8th in the tough Big 12.
