Know Thy Foe: Alabama Basketball

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.

Anyway -- here's what we should expect from Bama; they are a fast, athletic, guard oriented offensive attack.

  • F:  Noah Gurley -- 6'-8"  (SR)
  • C: Charles Bediako -- 7'-0"  (FR)
