WATCH: Brandon Miller, Alabama cut down nets in Nashville following SEC Tournament win
Alabama won its eighth SEC Tournament in program history Sunday afternoon over Texas A&M 82-63. After the game, Nate Oats and company ceremoniously cut down the nets in Nashville in celebration.
The Tide enter the NCAA Tournament as a projected one-seed, SEC Champions (tournament and regular season) an undefeated home record, and a 19-2 record against conference opponents including the postseason. Pretty good for a football school.
Star forward Brandon Miller won SEC Tournament MVP after finishing the game with 23 points, 12 rebounds and four assists.

Joe Lunardi makes Alabama’s case as NCAA Tournament’s No. 1 overall seed
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi believes Alabama has a case to be named the top overall seed on Selection Sunday, that rings especially true after the Crimson Tide won the SEC Tournament Sunday afternoon.
“I think you have to give some consideration to Alabama at this point,” explained Lunardi. “When the committee gave us a Top 16 reveal a month ago, they had Alabama ahead of both Kansas and Houston.”

While Lunardi is championing the Crimson Tide, he wouldn’t go as far as to put them at the top of his list, believing the Kansas Jayhawks deserve the honor of being the NCAA Tournament’s top overall seed for 2023.
“However, since then, Kansas has piled up another boatload on Quad 1 wins,” added Lunardi. “They have 17 of them. Which is more than Houston and Alabama put together. So I’m sticking with the Jayhawks as No. 1 in the Midwest, and No. 1 overall, but it really won’t change their path if they slip to No. 2.”
Regardless, it’s evident Alabama is in fantastic shape entering the NCAA Tournament. Whether they’re the top overall seed or not, Joe Lunardi and experts alike recognize the Crimson Tide are simply a force.
