Alabama has been one of the nation’s best teams all season, and the Crimson Tide might even be peaking at the right time. Nate Oats’ team is once again at the top of the SEC and has a decent chance to win the NCAA championship for the first time in program history. They have played very well for most of the season and have the experience and star power to take home the title.

Let’s take a look at the March Madness 2023 outlook for Alabama, but make sure you also check out our March Madness picks for every game throughout the NCAA tournament.

Alabama Basketball March Madness Odds

After winning the SEC regular season and conference tournament title, Alabama checks in as one of the favorites to win the national title for the first time in program history. The Crimson Tide are +800 at FanDuel Sportsbook to cut down the nets, and Alabama is a prohibitive favorite to make the Final Four in Houston, Texas.

Alabama Basketball March Madness Seeding

After one of its best seasons ever, Alabama is the #1 overall seed in the 2023 NCAA tournament. Alabama will be in the South region and should have favorable fan support in the region, starting with Louisville, Kentucky in the first two rounds. Alabama will play the winner of Texas A&M C-C and SEMO in the opening round on Thursday, before a potential matchup against either Maryland or West Virginia in the Round of 32.

Alabama was rated highly by most of the predictive metrics this season, including at KenPom, where the Crimson Tide were listed as 3rd overall. Alabama ranked 19th in offensive efficiency and 3rd in defensive efficiency at KenPom. The Crimson Tide averaged 82.2 points per game in the regular season, and finished 18-14-1 against the spread on the season.

Alabama Basketball star players for March Madness

The Crimson Tide have a clear and obvious star in Brandon Miller. Miller was the SEC player of the year and had a terrific season, averaging more than 19 points per game. He’ll be joined by Mark Sears, Noah Clowney and Jahvon Quinerly.

Alabama Basketball March Madness prospects & prediction

The Crimson Tide have played a difficult schedule which should prepare them for an extended March Madness run. Their path isn’t the easiest, but there is a roadmap for Alabama to get to Houston. A potential Round of 32 matchup against West Virginia or Maryland won’t be a walkover, but their potential Sweet 16 matchups are all favorable. Ultimately, I see Alabama as a slam-dunk Elite Eight team with serious potential to cut down the nets. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the Crimson Tide can advance to Houston and win their first title.
