NCAA Tournament

Check out the coming schedule for Alabama softball this weekend as it hosts its 18th-consecutive regional round of the NCAA tournament.

It was not "Miller Time" in the NCAA Tournament.

Freshman sensation Brandon Miller played his final game in an Alabama uniform on Friday night. The All American ended the night just 3-of-19 shooting and scored nine points against the San Diego State Aztecs in a Sweet 16 loss.

Oats is now set for his biggest offseason in Tuscaloosa. He must replace two of his veteran assistant coaches in Bryan Hodgson and Charlie Henry, and he must reload a roster that will be losing, at the minimum, All American Brandon Miller.

After a wild opening weekend of March Madness that featured 48 games in the first two rounds, the SEC heads into the Sweet 16 tied in first place as the conference with the most teams remaining (3).

Alabama advances to the Sweet Sixteen for the second time in three seasons after defeating Maryland, 73-51.

The Tide was able to handle its business despite superstar Brandon Miller being held scoreless in the contest.

Alabama will take on No. 8 seed Maryland on Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The game will be held in Birmingham and the winner will advance to Louisville for the Sweet 16.

Maybe if it weren't for the likes of Clay Travis and Joseph Goodman, people wouldn't be emboldened enough to make these threats.

The stage is set for all 68 teams in the NCAA Tournament. The Alabama Crimson Tide earned the No. 1 overall seed for the first time in school history and is now six wins away from winning the first national championship in school history.
