No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide
Predictable
In Nate Oates’ fourth season as coach, Alabama is the favorite for the national title. Crimson Tide features phenomenal freshman Brandon Miller and has the depth, length and skill to reach the Final Four for the first time in program history. Alabama is the second-fastest player in the nation, has a top-five defense, and is scoring over a third of points from the arc.
Unpredictable
Miller’s alleged involvement in the fatal shooting near campus and the university’s handling of the situation caused controversy during the Tuscaloosa season. Tide’s numbers have stabilized in recent weeks, and a team relying on three-point shots – 47.4% of field goals – could be in danger if that touch turns cold. Turnover has also been a problem at times.
