When you're so close to reaching the NCAA tournament, and you're wrong, it's hard. This is the case of Alabama Crimson Tide, which is one of the first four teams in this year's March Madness category.
Instead, they were No. 1 seed of the NIT and hosted the lowest seeded (Norfolk State) Wednesday night in Tuscaloosa.
Surprisingly, the Tide lost 80 to 79 against the Spartans in overtime, putting an end to a tumultuous season for coach Avery Johnson's team. However, if there is some comfort to be gained from the loss, it is because there were not many people to see it:
The number of participants for the first match of the NIT in Alabama is 2,086.

Yes, it's difficult to regroup after missing the NCAA tournament. However, coaches still talk about the importance of overcoming adversity, which Tide clearly did not do.
This season has been very disappointing and there could be big changes in Tuscaloosa.
For the record, the arena of Alabama welcomes more than 15,000 people.
