March Madness is here, and there’s plenty to break down on and off the court 🥃🐘

On this episode of Bama and Bourbon, Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles of Yea Alabama preview Alabama Basketball’s NCAA Tournament path, which begins Friday in Tampa against Hofstra. Can the Crimson Tide make a deep run in March Madness? What are the biggest matchups and potential bracket challenges ahead?

The conversation also turns to a tough off-court storyline as the guys discuss the disappointing arrest and suspension of Aden Holloway and what it could mean for the team moving forward.

LT and Aaron break down Kane Wommack’s excitement about the defense, what’s standing out early in camp, and how the Crimson Tide could take a step forward defensively heading into the 2026 season.

As always, the fellas pair elite Crimson Tide talk with a great pour, enjoying Frey Ranch Straight Bourbon Whiskey while covering all things Alabama sports.
