The 4th seeded Alabama Crimson Tide took down #1 seed North Carolina 89-87 on Thursday night to earn their way into the Elite Eight.
WHAT A RIDE!
The 4th seeded Alabama Crimson Tide is headed to the Elite Eight to rematch the No. 6 Clemson Tigers, after defeating the West 1-seed North Carolina Tarheels 89-87.
In a chalk-heavy championship that has been largely bereft of many great games, much less magical moments, Thursday night’s thriller may have been the game of the tournament. It was an absolute war.
You could not script how the Tide ad ..read more

I’m ready to cross that fine line…
Greetings, friends and fellow music lovers. I’m guessing I will have cried by the time this random ten makes it to publication, either because our fun-filled Dance is done or because we pulled off the sweet, sweet upset of number-one-seeded blue blood North Carolina. So celebrate (or seek solace) with me here at our weekly romp through my tunes and, hopefully, yours as well. Party on, dudes!*
*EDIT: HOLY MOLY WE DID IT! RTR!!!

Alabama 89, UNC 87
After ending the season on a sour note, an Alabama team that many a pundit had as a likely early upset candidate has made the Elite Eight by knocking off top seeded North Carolina.
The game was played at a breakneck pace from the jump. In the first half, Alabama was doing the things that one would think they needed to do to win the game. They made half of their three point attempts on good volume, played with high effort, and even executed their defensive strategy. Unfortunately, that defensive strategy partially centered around leaving a c ..read more

Can Alabama shock the Tar Heels and finally get back to the Elite Eight?
A little bit over a year ago today, the best team in Alabama basketball history was sent home earlier than expected in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, as the physical, veteran San Diego State Aztecs shocked the college basketball world with a big-time upset over the top-seeded Tide. It was, without question, the most disappointing - and downright depressing - loss I’ve experienced in my 20+ years of being a Tide Hoops fan. The loss was followed by an unprecedented outflow of talent and production ou ..read more

How exactly can Alabama spring the Sweet Sixteen upset?
Earlier today, I introduced the North Carolina Tar Heels with Part One of the Bama Basketball Breakdown. Give it a read if you haven’t yet, as it will lay the foundation for this piece. This article will be all about how Alabama can defy the oddsmakers and stun the Tar Heels tonight. It’s ultimately an expanded version of my usual ‘Three Keys to Victory’ segment, but I think y’all will enjoy it.
So, without further ado, let’s get into it.

The ‘Cats welcome Bama to Lexington, KY.
Let’s admit it: It’s a down year for SEC Softball. TBH, it’s down all across the NCAA landscape. I am going to put on my #GOML cap for a second and blame most of this on the Transfer Portal. Many of these players are jumping around for the next greener grass without really thinking things through. Softball is so much about finding cohesion and defining roles on a team to find the best recipe for success. That is tough task to tackle when kids keep hopping into the portal at the slightest trigger. Both Alabama and Kentucky are ..read more

Can Alabama, an underdog in the tournament for the first time in the Oats era, finally get back to the Elite Eight?
I’ll tell you one thing that never gets old - being alive for the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. The air is fresher, the days are nicer, that annoying guy at work doesn’t bother you as much. There’s just nothing like surviving the opening two rounds of madness. There’s a reason they call it the Sweet Sixteen - and boy does it hit the spot.
I’ll also tell you one thing that has gotten old quickly though - losing in the Sweet Sixteen. Any true Tid ..read more

Jalen Milroe is QB1. But who’s No. 2?
Man, this is such a good op-ed:
Don’t blame us, said the Texas Longhorns in 2021, upon the revealing of their plan to flee the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference. We’re just following the money.
Don’t blame us, said the Oklahoma Sooners. We’re just following Texas to follow the money.
Don’t blame us for kneecapping the Big 12, said the SEC. When Texas knocks, you answer.
Don’t blame us, said ESPN. Unconvincingly.
Don’t blame us, said the USC Trojans in 2022, upon the revealing of their plan to flee the Pac-12 for ..read more

The Tarheels roll into LA with just one loss since Valentine’s Day
Alabama has now advanced to another Sweet 16 under the helm of Coach Nate Oats. Up next, the Tide will be looking to accomplish something only seen once in the 110-year history of the program: Move beyond there. Just once has Alabama made the Elite 8, and it has never advanced further. (Who else still has their SI from 2004 with the Tide on the cover?)
To get there, however, ‘Bama is going to have to overcome a very talented UNC program who was in the Top 10 all season, and who has played outstandin ..read more

The team Captain, Evan Sleight, had two hits with a triple and a walk in Tuesday nights win over Belmont | Gary CosbyJr.-Tuscaloosa News / USA TODAY NETWORK
The Crimson Tide baseball team improved to 19-6 by defeating Belmont (12-13) on Tuesday night in Huntsville.
The 16th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team improved to 19-6 on the season with a 6-3 victory over the Belmont Bruins. Belmont fell to 12-13 on the season. For the second straight year the Tide made the trip north to play in Huntsville. Once again the crowd was great in a beautiful stadium and I would expect Alabama to contin ..read more
