Alabama advanced to its first Final Four in school history after defeating Clemson 89-82 Saturday night, and some former Crimson Tide football players celebrated the victory.
After No. 4 Alabama defeated No. 6 Clemson, several Crimson Tide legends celebrated their alma mater’s victory. Mac Jones, Mark Ingram II, and Jordan Battle all commented on social media following the game.
During their football careers, Ingram, Battle, and Jones all helped Alabama win national championships, and now they’re hoping the basketball team will do the same for the first time in programme history.
Alabama’s path to the national championship game, however, is complicated by a formidable opponent. The Crimson Tide will face No. 1 UConn in the Final Four, and the Huskies have been dominant throughout the tournament.
