Williams had Alabama beating one-seeded Houston in the Final Four, while the Huskies beat nine-seeded Creighton.
To win a national title, Williams has Alabama beating No. 15 Robert Morris, No. 10 Vanderbilt, No. 6 BYU and No. 1 Duke before wins against the Cougars and Huskies.
But Williams' Alabama fandom did not stop with his national championship pick. He also picked one-seed Auburn to lose in the first round to 16-seeded Alabama State.
Williams predicted first-round upsets of No. 4 Texas A&M, No. 3 Iowa State, No. 2 Michigan State, No. 6 Missouri, No. 2 Tennessee, No. 6 Illinois, No. 5 Clemson and No. 7 Saint Mary's.
Alabama basketball will open its NCAA Tournament run at 11:40 a.m. Friday against Robert Morris. The game will air on truTV.

MSU star Jase Richardson reportedly ‘connected' to teams in late lottery of NBA Draft
MSU star Jase Richardson reportedly 'connected' to teams in late lottery of NBA Draft Michigan State basketball star Jase Richardson 'has been connected to teams drafting in the late lottery' of this year's NBA Draft. The latest NBA Mock Draft from Yahoo Sports' Kevin O'Connor sites Richardson as being connected to teams selecting in the late lottery. That includes the Chicago Bulls, who O'Connor has drafting Richardson with the No. 12 overall pick. Here is the exact writeup from O'Connor on Richardson: 'Richardson has been connected to teams drafting in the late lottery, despite measuring 6-feet at the NBA Draft Combine. He is a skilled combo guard with a lethal midrange game and a poised pick-and-roll feel, looking like he downloaded the experience of his NBA veteran father, Jason Richardson. Jase didn't inherit his father's height or dunk-contest athleticism, though, so his smaller stature caps his upside. But does that matter? Look at the way the Pacers and Thunder play, with tons of players who can fly around the floor and make quick decisions. That's Richardson's exact style, so he could seamlessly fit on a team like the Bulls.' O'Connor also listed Richardson as NBA comps with Derrick White and Richard Hamilton. Richardson was an instant impact player for the Spartans, becoming Michigan State's top player by the end of his freshman season. He averaged 12.1 points per game and shot over 40% from three-point range to help lead Michigan State to a Big Ten title and Elite Eight finish in the NCAA Tournament. The NBA Draft is scheduled to take place on June 25 – 26, with the first round taking place on June 25 and the second round on June 26. The draft will be televised on ESPN and ABC.
