With 68 teams in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, and plenty of historical runs from overlooked teams, it’s often difficult to predict how the field will look when all is said and done.
The Alabama Crimson Tide is poised to make a run as a high-seeded team in the tournament. Some fear Nate Oats may lead the team to a championship, which would make Alabama champions in both football and basketball in the same year.
Reddit user u/IvoryToasttt4888 created a tournament simulation using ESPN’s projected seeds.
In the simulation, two-seed Alabama defeats UMBC, Colorado, Creighton and Utah State to get to the Final Four. From there, Alabama takes down Baylor, where they then beat Purdue in the championship matchup.
Alabama is currently the best team in the SEC with a conference record of 11-1 and an overall record of 16-5.
