4. March Madness teams that will bust brackets – Alabama Crimson Tide

You might want to pour a stiff drink when trying to figure out how far to advance Alabama in your bracket. Nate Oats’ team entered the year as a preseason Top 25 team and has been one of the most frighteningly inconsistent teams in the sport ever since.

There have been incredibly high highs for Alabama, which upset Gonzaga in Seattle, knocked off Houston at home, and scored huge victories against SEC foes like Tennessee, Arkansas and LSU. The Crimson Tide have also shown they can lose to anyone as well, falling to the likes of Iona, Davidson, Missouri and Georgia before getting upset by Vanderbilt in their first SEC Tournament game.

A good indicator of how the Crimson Tide will do on a given day is looking at their three-point percentages. If Alabama is knocking down its perimeter shots they are very hard to beat but that is a skill set that can vary wildly from game to game.

It feels like the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee trolled us by pitting Alabama against a First Four winner in the Round of 64 before a potential showdown against Texas Tech in the Round of 32. The Crimson Tide could lose to Rutgers or get all the way to the Elite Eight. Good luck trying to figure out which version of Alabama shows up in March.
