Alabama Crimson Tide National Championship Odds Surge on News Mark Sears Returning to School

Alabama broke through to the Final Four last season under head coach Nate Oats, the school's first ever National Semifinals appearance.

However, oddsmakers are counting on even more success in the 2024-2025 season for the Crimson Tide, as the team is now amongst the favorites to win the NCAA Tournament on the news that star guard Mark Sears will withdraw from the NBA Draft and return to school. The Crimson Tide are tied for the third shortest odds heading into the offseason at +1200.
