Despite a herculean effort from Labaron Philon, Alabama basketball couldn't get it done against Gonzaga at the Players Era Festival.
Labaron Philon did everything he could, but Alabama basketball struggled outside of its star guard and without senior Latrell Wrightsell, who will sit out the Players Era Festival with an injury, and the Crimson Tide fell to Gonzaga 95-85 on Monday night.
Alabama had little firepower on offense outside of Philon. The Tide struggled to hit from three-point range, shooting 9-of-29, missed eight second-half free throws, and couldn't keep the Bulldogs off the offensive glass.
