Where is Alabama in USA TODAY Sports’ latest March Madness projection?

The latest March Madness Bracketology projection has Alabama in an interesting spot.

Alabama men’s basketball has been on fire in the SEC. The Crimson Tide leads the league with a record of 8-1 against conference opponents. Overall the team has a 16-6 record with most losses coming against high-quality teams early in the season.

It appears as if Nate Oats’s squad has found its identity. The offense remains hot, but the defense has picked up immensely. Under the leadership of Mark Sears and Grant Nelson, this roster seems poised to be a threat in the postseason.

While there’s still considerable time left in the 2023-2024 regular season, the conference tournament is nearing, which is followed by the NCAA Tournament.

USA TODAY Sports college basketball experts Paul Myerberg, Erick Smith and Eddie Timanus projected the field. Alabama is projected to be an automatic qualifier and be a third seed in the East Region. The Tide’s opening contest would be against 14-seed High Point.

The two teams seeded above Alabama in the East Region would be No. 1 Connecticut and No. 2 Arizona. Not the easiest of routes for the Crimson Tide. However, in order to be the best, the team will have to beat the best.

Alabama will next take on twelfth-ranked Auburn on the road on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 7:00 p.m. ET in a rematch of two in-state rivals. The Tide won the first matchup of the season between these teams in Tuscaloosa just a few weeks ago.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Alabama basketball as the season progresses.

Notre Dame onto Elite Eight in men’s lacrosse

Go Irish, beat Johns Hopkins

A year ago the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team was inexplicably left out of the NCAA Tournament.  A year later they’re the nation’s third overall seed and now just one win away from advancing to the final four.

This comes after the Irish annihilated Utah 20-7 on Saturday’s first round of the 16-team tournament.  Things started fast for the Irish as they jumped out to an 8-0 advantage and the issue was never really in doubt.

Jake Taylor set a Notre Dame tournament record by netting five goals.  As usual, Pat Kavanagh was stellar as he netted three himself and assisted on three more.  Chris Kavanagh added two more goals and an assist for the victorious Irish.

Notre Dame now advances to the national quarterfinals in Annapolis where they’ll take on the sixth-seed, Johns Hopkins University on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET.

The Crimson Tide is projected to be the highest-ranked seed in the entire tournament.

Alabama men’s basketball has impressed the nation with a 25-4 overall record and a 15-1 record against in-conference opponents. With only two games remaining, the Crimson Tide can win out and likely take the top overall seed in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Alabama basketball remains No. 1 seed in latest bracket projections

Despite a tough road loss to Tennessee, The Crimson Tide stay put as a projected No. 1 seed.

Alabama basketball suffered loss No. 4 in the 2022-2023 season to Tennessee on the road. A sloppy game by the Crimson Tide’s offense led to the defeat.

Though it may sting, the outcome really doesn’t have much of an effect on the team for now. The Crimson Tide will make the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament unless the program somehow seizes to exist before it gets started. At this point, it’s all about seeding.

Well, ESPN’s bracketology expert Joe Lunardi dropped Alabama from being the overall top seed, but still has the Tide entering the tournament as a No. 1 seed.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to cover Alabama basketball and provide projection updates as March Madness approaches.

Alabama MBB remains a No. 1 seed in ESPN Bracketology update

Alabama MBB stays a No. 1 seed despite the big loss to Oklahoma.

Alabama’s loss on the road to Oklahoma was rather disheartening. The Crimson Tide team that has beaten two top-ranked opponents and fought all the way up to the No. 2 rankings lost 93-69 to the Sooners.

At the end of the day, this was only Alabama’s third loss of the 2022-2023 college basketball season and the team remains perfect in SEC play.

ESPN’s lead bracketology expert Joe Lunardi has the Crimson Tide staying put as a No. 1 seed, despite the ugly loss.

Unless Nate Oats and his team forget how to play basketball, it’s unlikely this team will come close to missing the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. For now, it’s all about seeding.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to cover Alabama basketball as the season progresses.

Notre Dame gets no luck of the Irish in NCAA baseball tournament seeding

What did Notre Dame ever do to the NCAA selection committee? Mercy

One would think going 35-14 overall and earning the fourth seed in the deepest conference in college baseball this season would be enough to earn an NCAA regional to host this college baseball postseason but that wasn’t the case for Notre Dame as the Irish will be the second seed in the Statesboro (Georgia) region.

Most believed Notre Dame was headed to hosting their own regional but that wasn’t the case as brackets were released on Monday.  Mike Buddie, who holds a chair on the selection committee gave reason to why Notre Dame was left out as a regional host on ESPN2 following the selection show.

“When we were looking at Notre Dame, Oklahoma and LSU for some of those last host spots, we had to get really particular. Instead of looking just at Quad 1, we looked at record against teams ranked 1-25 to try and separate. Our belief was to be a national seed, unless you’ve done something spectacular in your conference regular season and/or winning the tournament like East Carolina, Stanford and Tennessee were able to do. How do you quorum against those really exceptional teams – those elite teams.

The region is a double-elimination format as Notre Dame will open against Texas Tech with the winner of that matchup meeting the winner of No. 1 Georgia Southern and No. 4 UNC-Greensboro.

Awaiting the winner of the Statesboro regional will then likely be top-overall seed Tennessee who is the runaway favorite to win the College World Series this year.
