Expectations were high for the Alabama Crimson Tide heading into the NCAA Tournament. When they're at their best, their a tough team for anyone to beat, but they're one of the most volatile teams left in the tournament.

They escaped a potential upset in the opening round against Robert Morris, but then put together an impressive victory against Saint Mary's in the Round of 32. Now, they have an intriguing matchup against BYU in the Sweet 16.

Let's take a look at Alabama's history in the NCAA Tournament and then I'll break down their odds to win it all.
