Heading into its first Final Four appearance, there is no denying @AlabamaMBB has a daunting task as an 11.5-point underdog to the Connecticut Huskies. Few not clad in Crimson have given Alabama an even remote chance of stunning the college basketball nation inside State Farm Stadium. In the second game of tonight’s Final Four, Alabama (25-11) faces Connecticut (35-3), a team that has won all of its tournament games by at least 17 points and is seeking to become the first repeat national champion since Florida in 2006-07. However, do the keys to victory for the Crimson Tide reside in the past? In the 85-year history of the NCAA Tournament, three teams have won the national championship with double-digit losses: North Carolina State (26-10) in 1983, Villanova (25-10) in 1985 and Kansas (27-11) in 1988. Each team utilized a different path in its improbable NCAA Tournament run, but all of their monumental upsets happened in the championship game and all three juggernauts were only single-digit favorites. Alabama must overcome its largest challenge of the season in the semifinals as a double-digit underdog. In 1983, N.C. State defeated Houston 54-52 on the famous last-second dunk by Lorenzo Charles off a short shot by Dereck Whittenburg. Behind the “Phi Slama Jama” tandem of Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, the Cougars entered the championship game riding a 26-game winning streak, but early foul trouble on Drexler and Olajuwon tiring in the second half were the openings that the Wolfpack needed. Villanova won the 1985 national championship with a stunning 66-64 victory over a Georgetown team led by center Patrick Ewing that had won 35 games. In one of the most efficient offensive performances ever, the Wildcats shot a staggering 78.6 percent from the field (22 of 28). Dwayne McClain scored 17 points for Villanova, while Harold Jenson had 14 points. Danny Manning willed his Kansas Jayhawks to the 1988 title with 31 points and 18 rebounds in an 83-79 victory over Oklahoma. The high-scoring Sooners averaged 102 points per game and all five starters scored in double digits against the Jayhawks, but it wasn’t enough to derail Manning’s Herculean performance. To become the disruptive force in this year’s Final Four and reach Monday night’s championship game perhaps the Crimson Tide needs a combination of all three historical upsets: Foul trouble on Donovan Clingan and tiring out the Huskies with its torrid pace, a record-setting shooting performance on three-pointers and someone to step forward with the game of his career.
