Alabama basketball’s March Madness opponent is Green Bay to open NCAA Tournament bracket
After a strong regular season, the Alabama Crimson Tide are once again dancing in the women's NCAA Tournament.
Yes, for the third consecutive season, the Crimson Tide are set to make a NCAA Tournament appearance coming off a regular season in which Alabama posted a 23-8 overall record, as well as a 10-6 mark in SEC play. This is also one of the highest win totals of the Kristy Curry era at Alabama so far, as well as the top offense that currently ranks No. 20 nationally at 78.4 points per game.
As to who Alabama will play, the Crimson Tide will face the Green Bay Phoenix in the first round, an opponent whom the Crimson Tide have never played head-to-head.
When it comes to seeding, Alabama comes in as the No. 5 seed in Regional 2 - Birmingham, while the Phoenix are seeded No. 12 in the region. A region of the bracket headlined by one-seed South Carolina, Alabama and Green Bay will play Saturday, March 22 at 1:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2, with the game set to take place from XFINITY Center in College Park, Maryland.
Led by first-year head coach Kayla Karius, Green Bay is making their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance coming off a season in which they went 29-5 overall, while also winning the Horizon League regular season title at 19-1. The Phoenix also won the Horizon League tournament, and have one of the nation's top scoring defenses, ranking No. 18 at only 55.8 points per game allowed.
