SAN ANTONIO – Alabama women's basketball earned an at-large bid in the 2021 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament, its first since the 1999 season. The Crimson Tide heads to the Big Dance as a No. 7 seed and will take on 10th-seeded North Carolina in Monday's first round. The game will tip at 11 a.m. CT on the Alamodome South Court on ESPN.

NCAA Tournament Notes

• Alabama is making its 11th appearance in the NCAA tournament and first since 1999.
• The Crimson Tide made eight consecutive trips from 1992-99 after its initial two in the 80s (1984, 88).
• Alabama is 16-10 in the NCAA tournament, with its deepest run coming in 1994 when it advanced to the Final Four.
• Head Coach Kristy Curry is taking her third team to the NCAA tournament after having made trips to the Big Dance at Purdue (2000-06) and Texas Tech (2011, 13).

The Series

• The Tide and Tar Heels will be meeting for the 11th time in the series and second in as many years.
• Alabama won the last matchup, 83-77, in Tuscaloosa on Dec. 15, 2019.
• Ironically, the two teams met the last time the Tide played in the NCAA tournament, with the then-11th ranked Tar Heels winning, 70-56, in Chapel Hill in the second round of the 1999 tournament.

The Crimson Tide heads to the Big Dance as a No. 7 seed

Seven of the 14 SEC teams are dancing. The other six are all seeded from the one line to the four line. It could be a baseball bracket.

Ole Miss and Mississippi State both missed the tournament with a top 50 NET ranking. MSU wasn't playing well, but definitely deserved a shot. LSU out as well with a 61 NET ranking. Questionable decision there as well.

Ok ladies lets go for the sweep over Maryland. Roll Tide!!!

 

[bamanc50]

Right now this Maryland team is far superior over Bama. Lewis needs to jack up some 3’s. She had 32 points against NC.

 

[#80]

Major ass whipping. Terps are far superior.

 

[bamanc50]

Really bad first half for Bama. If you can’t switch out of zone to man to man that is a coaching problem in recruiting. MAMA’S STILL CALLING!!! Jonie Taylor former Bama player and head coach at UGA.

 

[252BAMA]

If Maryland is a 2 seed, it's good they are not playing a 1.

 

[bama alum]

Well, at least the ladies didn't lose by 40. Geez! That was ugly.

 

[#80]

Terps scored 33 pts off TO's.

 

[OldPlayer]

Ouch!

But wait til next year!
