2021 has already been an epic year for the University of Alabama athletics department, but Tide Hoops has the chance to take it up yet another notch by matching the program’s deepest NCAA Tournament run with a win Sunday night. That would send the Crimson Tide (26-6, 19-2 SEC, NET: 7, Kenpom: 8) to the Regional Final, otherwise known as the Elite Eight. The only other time Alabama has accomplished that feat was during the magical 2004 run under Mark Gottfried. In order to advance though, the Tide will have to claim victory over a hot UCLA Bruins team (20-9, 13-6 PAC-12, NET: 46, Kenpom: 22).
