The Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team advanced to the second round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament on Thursday with a 96-75 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
The Crimson Tide dominated the game from start to finish over the Islanders and played the majority of the second half with its bench players. In fact, Alabama was able to easily handle the Islanders without star freshman Brandon Miller scoring a single point in the matchup.
Next up for the Tide is the round of 32 matchup against the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday night.
Following Thursday’s win, Alabama head coach Nate Oats would speak to the media about his team’s performance in the first round. Here is everything coach Oats had to say.
