The Alabama Crimson Tide have burned a path through all comers to represent the West Region in the Final Four. After beginning the tournament at +800 and the Sweet 16 at +475 few believed the Crimson Tide’s ability to overcome the top-seeded North Carolina Tar Heels.

The Crimson Tide have the shooting and scoring depth to shock the world as the Final Four gets underway this weekend. Alabama is currently +1600 in the latest National Championship odds.
