The NCAA men's tournament bracket was revealed on Sunday with Alabama announced as the No. 1 overall seed.

The Crimson Tide secured the designation after winning SEC regular-season and tournament titles capped by Sunday's 82-63 win over Texas A&M in the tournament championship game. They boast the nation's third-most Quadrant 1 wins with 12 and SEC Player of the Year Brandon Miller, considered by many to be the best player in the country.

Alabama enters tournament play under a pall of controversy after police accused Miller of delivering a gun to the scene of a fatal shooting in January involving ex-teammate Darius Miles, who faces a capital murder charge. Miller faces no charges and has continued to play since the allegation.

This story will be updated as the rest of the NCAA tournament bracket is revealed.
