SAN DIEGO – The Alabama men's basketball team held its final practice in Tuscaloosa Tuesday morning before departing for San Diego ahead of Friday afternoon's NCAA Tournament contest. The sixth-seeded Crimson Tide will play the winner of Wednesday's First Four contest between No. 11 seeds Notre Dame and Rutgers.
Alabama began the travel day with a spirited practice that lasted for just under two hours. After head coach Nate Oats and select student-athletes met with the local media one final time, the Crimson Tide boarded its charter flight and made the nearly four-hour flight into San Diego.
Once the Tide landed and checked into the team hotel, a team dinner followed by a shooting session ensued as Alabama settled into its first night on the West coast.
