2026 Tournament PreviewAlabama enters the NCAA Tournament as one of the most fun teams to watch. The Crimson Tide play at a fast pace, fourth in KenPom's adjusted tempo, and attempt more three-pointers per game than any team in the nation. Three players have cashed at least 65 threes, led by potential NBA lottery pick Labaron Philon (21.5 ppg, 4.8 apg), who shoots 38.9 percent from deep as a top-20 scorer nationally. Junior point guard Aden Holloway (16.8 ppg) hits a team-high 43.4 percent from distance, with three other mainstays averaging double figures. The result is the nation's third-most efficient offense, per KenPom. Defense falls behind, ranking 68th, but, most important, the Tide are battle tested. Alabama is No. 1 nationally in just about every strength of schedule metric and is 7-7 in Quad 1 with only two losses outside the top quadrant, though one was to 15 seed Ole Miss in the SEC tourney quarterfinals. Still, don't count out Nate Oats and company as Final Four candidates.
