Alabama Crimson Tide forward Brandon Miller was one of the most talked about players in the NCAA Tournament this year.
And that was for two reasons. For one, Miller is one of the best basketball players in the nation, averaging 18.8 points per game and 8.2 rebounds per game as a freshman.
But that's not the big reason why Miller had so much attention on him during the NCAA Tournament.
Miller was in the spotlight mostly because he allegedly drove the gun used to murder Jamea Harris to the crime scene in mid-January.

On Friday, Alabama was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament via their 71-64 loss to San Diego State in the Sweet 16.
Miller scored nine points in the loss on 3-of-19 shooting from the field.
After Alabama's loss, it was revealed that Miller set an NCAA record that he probably won't be bragging about anytime soon.
Miller, who is from Antioch, TN, set the record for the worst field goal percentage since 1935 in the NCAA Tournament.
The Alabama star shot just 19.5 percent from the field, breaking the previous record of 21.6 percent set by former Texas guard BJ Tyler in 1994.
Ouch.
Maybe Miller couldn't handle all the scrutiny he faced during the NCAA Tournament.
Miller will almost certainly be a lottery pick in this summer's NBA Draft, but teams might be a little more hesitant to select him after seeing how he performed on college basketball's biggest stage.
