The Alabama Crimson Tide punched their ticket to their third-straight Sweet 16 after defeating the Saint Mary's Gaels 80–66 in the men's NCAA tournament on Sunday evening. And such a big win requires an equally big celebration, of course, which is why head coach Nate Oats surely wasn't bothered when his team surrounded him and crashed his postgame interview.
Oats was in the middle of speaking when he spotted the players making their way over, at which point he pretty instantly dropped the facade to crack a big smile. He was then draped in a sweat towel before getting back into it, and as he talked, the players continued goofing off in the background.
