Alabama reached its first Final Four in school history after taking down Clemson 89-82 Saturday night, and some former Crimson Tide football players embraced the win.
After No. 4 Alabama’s win over No. 6 Clemson, several Crimson Tide legends celebrated their alma mater’s big win. Mac Jones, Mark Ingram II and Jordan Battle all chimed in on social media after the game.

Ingram, Battle and Jones all helped lead Alabama to national championships in football during their playing days, and now they’re looking to the basketball team to bring home a title for the first time in program history.
Alabama has a tough opponent standing in its way of the national championship game, though. The Crimson Tide will take on No. 1 UConn in the Final Four, and the Huskies have been dominant so far in the tournament.
UConn has won each of its NCAA tournament games by 20+ points, beating No. 3 Illinois 77-52 behind a 30-0 run on Saturday. The reigning champions have shown no signs of struggle so far in the tournament, but the Crimson Tide are looking to change that.
Alabama’s offense is certainly capable of keeping up with UConn, posting the ninth-best offense in KenPom, but the Crimson Tide will need to post one of the team’s best games of the season.
Alabama has submitted itself as one of the best football programs of all time. Now, the basketball program is looking to start a tradition of its own.
