AL.com All-Access: March Madness all across Alabama

(Wade Payne)

We interrupt pro days and spring practice to talk about something that should be on the tip of everyone's tongue this week, even in the Heart of Dixie.

It's basketball. Postseason basketball. NCAA Tournament, NIT and CIT basketball.

What? Hoops can't have at least one week at the top of the food chain?

Local March Madness starts tonight in three locations in the state. Alabama plays host to Richmond in the NIT. Did you know the Crimson Tide is making its SEC-best 15th NIT appearance tonight? Avery Johnson has a chance to lead Alabama to its first NIT championship.
