Alabama Crimson Tide Doomed By Poor Free Throw Shooting in NCAA Tournament Loss

There are three constants that usually happen when this Alabama basketball team wins. They are: score 80 points or more as a team, make 10 or more three point shots, and have Jaden Shackelford score 15 or more points. The team did none of the three, but still could have come away with a victory simply by making one more free throw during regulation. The Tide finished a miserable 11-25 in the game and lost 88-78 in overtime to 11th seeded UCLA. Alabama finished the season at 26-7 and UCLA improved to 21-9. The Bruins snuck in the tournament as one of the last four in and had to win a play in game to advance.
