Alabama Crimson Tide NCAA Basketball Betting
Recently, Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nate Oats signed an extension that included a nice raise. And there is plenty of justification for that new deal. Oats is taking Alabama to the Sweet 16 for the third time in four years. Now, Oats is focused on advancing to the Elite Eight for the first time since taking over the Crimson Tide in 2019-20. Oats and his Crimson Tide have a tough assignment on Thursday night. Alabama will face the North Carolina Tar Heels. Alabama beat the College of Charleston and Grand Canyon last week.

Alabama Crimson Tide Team Overview
Overall, the Alabama Crimson Tide are 21-10 straight up, 16-14-1 against the spread, and 23-8 over/under the total. Alabama has national metrics of 1st for scoring offense, 34th for field goal percentage, 37th for 3-point field goal percentage, 11th for free throw percentage, and 24th for offensive rebounding. While defensively, Alabama is 353rd for scoring defense, 186th for field goal percentage permitted, 75th for 3-point field goal percentage allowed, and 178th for defensive rebounding.
Late on, Alabama has covered two of its previous three games. Alabama has gone over the total in 11 of its last 13 outings. First among Alabama scorers is G Mark Sears, with 21.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. G Aaron Estrada averages 13.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per contest. And then F Grant Nelson adds 12.0 points and 5.7 rebounds per matchup.
Mark Sears had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Mouhamed Dioubate scored all nine of his points in the final 5 1/2 minutes, and fourth-seeded Alabama used a late surge to beat No. 12 seed Grand Canyon 72-61 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night.
Sears carried the Crimson Tide for the better part of 35 minutes before getting some unexpected help from Dioubate. The 6-foot-7 freshman scored more than nine points only twice all season. Still, he made the most of his chance to contribute in the final minutes of a physical game with Alabama in foul trouble and without starter Latrell Wrightsell Jr., who suffered a head injury in the first half.
Alabama advanced to the Sweet 16 for the 10th time overall and third time in the last four seasons under coach Nate Oats. The Crimson Tide will play in a regional semifinal in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1990-91; last year, Alabama was a No. 1 seed and fell to eventual national runner-up San Diego State.
This time, it'll be the Tide trying to take down top-seeded North Carolina on Thursday in a West Region semifinal in Los Angeles.
