Alabama to the Sweet 16! Can the Tide Take Down Michigan? | Bama and Bourbon Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

Sweet 16 bound and the buzz is building in Tuscaloosa 🥃🐘

On this episode of Bama and Bourbon, Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles of Yea Alabama break down Alabama Basketball’s wins over Hofstra and Texas Tech as the Crimson Tide punches its ticket to the Sweet 16. Now, a massive matchup awaits as Alabama prepares to face the Michigan Wolverines with a spot in the Elite Eight on the line.

The guys dive into how Nate Oats’ team is playing its best basketball at the right time, key performances that fueled the NCAA Tournament run, and what it will take for Alabama to take down Michigan. Can the Crimson Tide keep the momentum going and make a deep March Madness run?

Then it’s back to the gridiron as LT and Aaron share the latest intel from Alabama Football spring practice. From standout newcomers to position battles and early impressions of Kalen DeBoer’s roster, the guys break down what fans need to know as the Tide builds toward the 2026 season.

As always, the conversation is paired with a premium pour — this week it’s Four Roses OESK, as the fellas mix Crimson Tide analysis with top-shelf bourbon talk.

Last Call | BIG Alabama Updates: Spring Practice Buzz, NCAA Tournament Talk & Aiden Holloway Arrest Mar 22, 2026

Show notes

Alabama Football is back on the field, and there is already a lot to discuss from spring practice. In this episode, we break down the Crimson Tide quarterback battle between Austin Mack and Keon Russell, the early offensive line outlook with Jackson Lloyd stepping in at left tackle, and which receivers and running backs are making noise in camp. We also cover the latest Alabama injury updates and what to watch as the spring game approaches on April 11.

We also dive into Alabama Basketball and the NCAA Tournament after the Tide’s win over Hofstra, including Lebaron Philon’s performance and what Alabama’s March Madness path could look like moving forward. On top of that, we discuss Nate Oats’ future and whether there is any real reason to believe he could leave Tuscaloosa for another college job or even the NBA.

The show also covers two major off-court stories grabbing headlines across college sports: the NCAA’s lawsuit against DraftKings over the use of “March Madness” and “Final Four,” and the recent arrest of former Alabama guard Aiden Holloway on felony marijuana possession and tax stamp charges. We react to both stories and discuss what they could mean in the bigger picture.

From Alabama football spring practice updates to March Madness takes and the latest legal headlines, this episode covers everything Crimson Tide fans need to know.
