Baton Rouge, LA – The Crimson Tide (17-8, 9-2) overcame a furious start from the home standing Bengal Tigers (10-16, 2-9), but in the end it was a familiar finish for both teams.
Bama would win their ninth in league play; the Tigers would drop their ninth in a row.
JaMychal Green led all scorers with 18 to lead Alabama to a 67-56 win in the Pete Maravich Center on Thursday night. Bama point guard Trevor Releford continued his highlight reel of a freshman season, adding 15, including a floating dagger that sealed the deal with 2:12 to play.
Bama trailed the Tigers for much of the first half, but tied the game at 26 apiece on an Andrew Steele three pointer…a rarity for this team…at the 4:58 mark. After a Malcolm White foul and subsequent JaMychal Green foul shot late in the first, Alabama would not yield the lead again…though it would remain close until the final two minutes of play.
With the win Bama remains in command of the SEC Western division and remains tied with Florida for the overall lead in the league. They also remain a bubble team for an NCAA tournament bid.
Meanwhile LSU remains in a heated contest with Auburn (both sitting pretty at 2-9 in league play) as the most embarrassing team to take the court in the SEC. LSU will have the chance to settle the score with the tree huggers on March 5th.

Dunno 13. Tree poisoning apparently brings out the loco’s! There’s more stink being made about a piece of dead wood than there was about the criminal activity of the Newton family! Dumbásses! Hell, the guy was a Texas State Trooper. Aren’t they gonna declare war on Austin, Texas too? That’s obviously who is responsible for this attrocity*. The University of Texas is pissed because the Barnturds stole one of their top recruits. See, there I’ve solved the case! In Basketball Florida still has to play Kentuckyand Vandy away. That’s is two bad ass venues to play in. We may be SEC champions even if we don’t beat them. RTR!
Grant has done a good job, that is for sure. Get a few more of his players in his system and we may be winning a lot of SEC titles.
Hammah was saying he saw some UFOs last week. I always like to give him a jab when I can. He is actually an ok guy.
