Nate Oats exhibits confidence on behalf of his Crimson Tide squad
The Alabama Crimson Tide vs. the UConn Huskies game is one of the most anticipated Final Four games in the men's NCAA tournament. Ahead of the game, Nate Oats gave a statement in response to reports that claimed that his squad was not favored to reach the national championship game.
"Yeah, had a good practice yesterday. We made it through injury-free, so I think as long as we can get through today's practice injury-free, we should be healthy for the first time in a while. We're going to need to be healthy. Going to need to use our depth against UConn." said Oats.
"I like where our guys' heads are at. Obviously we're big underdogs, we know that. UConn is very good. They've been running through the competition. But I don't think our guys are scared. I think our guys are confident in their abilities. We're getting healthy, we'll be ready. We know it's going to be a tough game."
This is the first time that the No. 4 seeded Crimson Tide has reached the Final Four of the NCAA tournament. Alabama fans want the team to advance to the championship game so that they can make a historic mark.
