WATCH: Arizona icon makes her pick for the Final Four matchup between Alabama and UConn
While it may have taken a favor from Big Al, a prominent figure has thrown her weight behind the Crimson Tide to take down UConn 鈥� 7,000 lbs. of weight, to be exact.
Followed to Phoenix by dozens of dedicated fans, Alabama arrived in Arizona Tuesday ahead of their March Madness matchup with the Huskies, the Tide's first trip to the Final Four in school history.

The 58-year-old gentle giant was given the option to choose between two boxes featuring both teams' logos. It didn't take long for her to decide, tossing UConn aside as she gobbled up the contents of the 'Bama box.
While it's been suggested that someone may have put the tastier treats inside of Alabama's box, Indu's distant relative Big Al was unavailable for comment.
Watch Indu make her pick in the video player above.
