The Alabama Crimson Tide have burned a path through all comers to represent the West Region in the Final Four. After beginning the tournament at +800 and the Sweet 16 at +475 few believed the Crimson Tide’s ability to overcome the top-seeded North Carolina Tar Heels.
Known for their electric high-flying offense, Alabama’s defense has been the catalyst of the first Final Four appearance in program history. The Crimson Tide have held each of their opponents to under 40% shooting from the field in their unfathomable run to the Final Four.
