As the Crimson Tide was revealed as the No. 1 seed in the South Region, Gumbel made an off-hand comment that referenced the ongoing murder case involving former player Darius Miles.
The word choice here could have been better.
CBS analyst Greg Gumbel is under fire for comments made about the University of Alabama basketball team while the 2023 March Madness bracket was revealed Sunday night. As the Crimson Tide was announced as the No. 1 seed in the South Region, Gumbel made an off-hand comment that referenced the ongoing murder case“They sidestepped a situation involving criminal activity in which Brandon Miller was associated,” Gumbel said. “He was not charged. They are here as the No. 1 overall seed.”
Miles, who was kicked off the team in wake of the charges, allegedly texted Miller – the SEC’s Player of the Year – to bring his gun to the scene where Miles’ friend, Michael Davis, allegedly shot and killed 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harris in Tuscaloosa. "[Alabama] sidestepped a situation involving criminal activity in which Brandon Miller was associated… he was not charged… they are here as the No. 1 overall seed."- Greg Gumbel
