The first thing that surprised me when I looked into the Alabama Men's Basketball Team was this -- they enter the NCAA Tournament on a THREE GAME LOSING STREAK.
In fact, Bama is 6 - 7 their last 13 games. They earned their #6 seed with some impressive wins in December & January over; Gonzaga, Houston, Tennessee, LSU and Baylor.
