Alabama Basketball: Check out what the Tide faces in Maryland and predictions about the NCAA Second Round outcome.
There were tense moments in the Alabama Basketball win over Iona. The Gaels slowed down the Crimson Tide and doing it disrupted the Tide’s offensive rhythm. As it has many times, the Crimson Tide defense saved the day.
Maryland was an under-valued 10-seed that surprised against U Conn. The Huskies capitalized on their size advantage, controlling the glass, 40-29. Even more impressive for U Conn was 22 offensive rebounds compared to four for the Terrapins.
