After getting an NCAA Tournament bid for the first time since 2012, the Alabama basketball team is looking to make some noise. What better way to do that than to ‘bust’ tournament brackets on the opening weekend?
As a 15 loss, No.9 seed, not many are projecting the Tide to get past their first game. The 8-vs-9 matchup is usually the most unpredictable game in each region because the teams are so evenly matched.
However, if they do, they will get a matchup with East Region No. 1 seed, Villanova.
Although the Hokies are currently favorited over the Tide, Alabama possesses the physical advantages.
