Alabama will open the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament as a No. 2 seed in the East region, facing off against No. 15 seed Iona.
The No. 1 seed in the Crimson Tide’s region is Michigan, but they likely won’t face off for a few games – assuming they are both still in the running.
The first matchup for Alabama will be Iona, which finished the season with a final record of 12-5 overall. Oddsmakers believe is a contest that will go in the Crimson Tide’s favor.
