Can the Tide put an end to its three-game losing streak?
When you enter March you generally want to start finding your rhythm as a basketball team if you have hopes of advancing in the NCAA Tournament. Unfortunately for Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide, they will enter the round of 64 matchup with Notre Dame winless in the month of March.
Notre Dame is certainly capable of taking down the Tide, but you would have to think that with a week off, Alabama, a team that likes to run offensively, will have fresh legs and a focused mindset.
If the Tide can defend consistently without fouling, they should be able to hand the Irish.
The Tide and Irish will tip at 3:15 p.m. CT on TNT.
Score Prediction: Alabama 82, Notre Dame 71
Finally…SEC hoops tournament whip-around…
