For the first time in three decades, Alabama is Sweet 16 bound in consecutive seasons.
It was a tight battle with 12-seed Grand Canyon, but the fourth-seeded Crimson Tide were able to lock it down at the end and emerge with a 72-61 win.
It wasn't easy, as the Antelopes took a lead in the later stages of the second half and remained close until the final minutes. A 17-3 run from the Crimson Tide at the end really put the game away.
Mark Sears led the Crimson Tide with 26 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.
