Alabama will begin their play in the NCAA Tournament on Friday afternoon against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who defeated Rutgers in two overtimes in their First Four matchup Wednesday evening, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Crimson Tide will enter March Madness on an unfortunate three-game losing streak after losses to Texas A&M, LSU and Vanderbilt, respectively, the latter of which coming in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament to force the Tide into an early exit in the event, which they won last season.
Alabama is 19-13 on the season and finished Southeastern Conference play even at 9-9. Last season in the NCAA Tournament, the Tide managed to advance all the way to the Sweet 16 before being forced out by eventual Final Four contestant UCLA. This season, they enter the tournament as the sixth seed in the West region. The region also includes No. 1 overall seed Gonzaga, whom the Tide has already defeated this season in December.
Notre Dame is 23-10 on the season and in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2017. It’s the program’s 37th appearance in the event, good enough for ninth in the nation in NCAA tourney appearances.
