Alabama Men’s Basketball

The Crimson Tide men’s basketball team plays in the Southeastern Conference. Alabama is one of the top teams in the country, and the team is always a threat in the tournament. This season, the Crimson Tide has some very talented players. Let’s take a look at the stars of the team.

Mark’s Madness

The University of Alabama’s men’s basketball program has risen in stature over the past several decades. Its rise is not only due to its success on the court. Instead, it has benefited from a rise in fan interest.

Mark’s Madness is the name of the student organization that sprang up to support former Crimson Tide coach Mark Gottfried. Students are encouraged to create a variety of memorabilia. Some of the more interesting things include a Million Dollar Band, rally towels, a squiggly balloon, and the like.

Aside from the usual soda in the student union, a more notable thing to see on a Saturday is a ladder cut in half to create a net for the players. While the most important thing to see is a great performance by the Alabama men’s basketball team, you’ll probably also see some fun and exciting moments.

Brandon Miller

When Brandon Miller came to Alabama, fans had high expectations. He was a 5-star recruit and had the potential to become a future All-American. However, Miller also had a lot of versatility to offer. His size and skill combined with his versatility led to him being a top recruit for Alabama.

Miller is a big and physical forward. A former McDonald’s high school All-American, he has the potential to become a lottery pick in the NBA Draft.

Miller has had a tremendous impact on the Crimson Tide this season. In addition to his scoring, Miller has been very physical and tough. His team has won three SEC games in a row, and Miller is leading the league in both scoring and three-point shooting.

While Miller was held without a shot in the first half at Arkansas, he got going in the second. Miller hit four threes in eight minutes.

Dom Welch

The Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team has been racking up wins despite having several notable lapses in defense. However, the Crimson Tide has also struggled with turnovers. So, if the team is to beat Gonzaga in the SEC Tournament, it needs to start taking better care of the ball.

The Crimson Tide has had some interesting player chemistry this season. For example, Nick Pringle delivered in a big way during the SEC opener against Jackson State. He scored 14 points in just 19 minutes and had nine rebounds.

Another name to watch is Dominick Welch. A graduate transfer from Buffalo, Welch is a 6 foot-5 guard with an athletic build. His three-point shooting abilities have earned him a spot on the team’s bench.

Welch is one of the two players who could return to the lineup for the Crimson Tide. It’s unclear whether he will be able to play on Friday against Houston. If he does, he’ll be on a minute restriction.

Darius Miles

Darius Miles, a former University of Alabama basketball player, has been charged with the capital murder of a 23-year-old woman. Darius was allegedly involved in a shooting near the university’s campus, and police are unsure of who fired the first shot.

The shooting happened at 1:45 a.m. local time, on a popular road that’s near the school. The video shows people running for cover. At least 11 shots were fired, and one person was injured by a bullet.

Miles has been removed from the Alabama basketball team after the arrest. He was a junior forward for the Crimson Tide. He played seven minutes off the bench in the team’s season opener against Longwood. During the past two-and-a-half seasons, Miles has been a bench player for the Tide, but he made two starts.

Mark Gottfried

Mark Gottfried is a legendary basketball coach who has had a distinguished career. The former star player for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide is one of America’s most respected coaches. He has won more than 200 games in his career, accumulating a 201-125 record.

In his first season with the Pack, the team reached the Sweet 16 and defeated the No. 1 seed, Villanova. This is the second time in ACC history that a team led by a first-year coach has made it to the NCAA Tournament.

Gottfried went on to coach at NC State and was named SEC Coach of the Year in 2002. During his time at NC State, the Wolfpack defeated LSU and UNC-Chapel Hill in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.
