Alabama basketball stays alive and advances to the second Elite Eight in program history after defeating the West Region’s No. 1 seed, North Carolina, with a final score of 89-87. The Crimson Tide’s March Madness run will now collide with Clemson‘s.
Grant Nelson was a force to be reckoned with in the SEC vs. ACC matchup. The North Dakota State transfer put his name on the map and raised some eyebrows with a performance that lifted the Tide over the Tar Heels.
On both ends of the court, Nelson was dominant. He put up 24 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks.
While Nate Oats and Alabama must now quickly prepare to take on Clemson on Saturday evening, relive the excitement from the upset win that sent North Carolina home and the Tide to the Elite Eight.
