How to watch No. 4 seed Alabama vs. No. 13 seed Charleston in the NCAA Tournament
The Alabama men’s basketball team is back in the NCAA Tournament for a fourth-straight season under head coach Nate Oats. After going 21-11 (13-5 SEC) through the regular season and SEC Tournament, the Crimson Tide — who are a No. 4 seed — will now take on a No. 13-seed in Charleston in the opening round.
The Cougars started the year 1-3, but then proceeded to win 26 of their final 30 games, including 12 straight to land a March Madness bid. That win streak was capped off with an exciting 82-79 overtime win over Stony Brook in the Coastal Athletic Association championship game, but Alabama presents a different challenge despite losing four of its last six games.
