. . . . 523. bama. . 2. .
Yes, yes, yes, the Crimson Tide made its first-ever appearance in the Final Four last year where Alabama almost outpaced the UConn Huskies.
However, despite bringing back a good percentage of the roster from last season, Alabama will not be able to compete at quite the same caliber.
Nate Oats is undeniably one of the best coaches in college basketball but the rest of the SEC will be out for blood against the Tide after its stunning run in 2024.
The Horns will almost certainly struggle against Alabama but the passion between the two rivals may be able to push Texas to a win.
