Mississippi State Bulldogs – Is Our Ticket Punched?
Mississippi State did everything thing they could to lose their SEC Tournament First Round game, but the Bulldogs ultimately outlasted the Florida Gators in overtime. Is that the win they needed to see their name called on Selection Sunday?
Alabama won both meetings this season, but they were tight as the Crimson Tide earned an 11-point road win and just a three-point home victory.
Alabama Crimson Tide – Did We Bring the Earmuffs?
Alabama visited the #24 Texas A&M Aggies and were poor in a 67-64 defeat. The Aggies were the much better team in the first half, leading by 10 at the half, but the Crimson Tide did wake up in the second half. Continuing to chip away, the Crimson Tide finally grabbed the lead with under six minutes to go, but they could not hang on in the end. Alabama trailed by as many as 15 points, never led by more than three, and could not cover the +1.0-point spread.
Brandon Miller had 19 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists in the game. Noah Clowney added 11 points, seven rebound, two assists, one steal, and two blocks in the loss.
After 31 games, Alabama is scoring 72.8 points per game, shooting 44.8% from the field, and assisting on 14.9 made shots. The Crimson Tide are allowing 69.5 points, grabbing 44.3 rebounds, blocking 5.0 shots, and stealing the ball 6.1 times.
