Mark Sears Leads Crimson Tide into Opener vs. UNC Asheville

Alabama reached new heights last season by reaching the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament.

Now the task is getting back to the pinnacle of the sport.

The No. 2 Crimson Tide will start their path toward another standout season when they open against UNC Asheville on Monday night in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Alabama won four NCAA games while going 25-12 last season and sent top-seeded North Carolina packing in the Sweet 16. But once the Crimson Tide reached the Final Four, they were outclassed by another No. 1 seed in eventual champion UConn 86-72.

Not surprisingly, Alabama coach Nate Oats is looking to minimize expectations this season.

“When you’re in the program and talking to the team and everybody inside, last year has nothing to do with this year,” Oats said.
