'I thought we wore them out': Nate Oats on Alabama's NCAA Tournament win over Saint Mary's

The No. 2 seed Alabama Crimson Tide are headed to the Sweet 16 for the third straight year and the fourth time in five seasons after beating No. 7 Saint Mary's, 80-66, in the East Region of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday at Rocket Arena in Cleveland.

It's safe to say that Alabama (27-8) fans and players weren't sweating it out as much as in the Crimson Tide's 90-81 win over Robert Morris in the first round of the tournament on Friday. Alabama found themselves down by one point at 65-54 with under seven minutes to play against Robert Morris.
