A big second-half surge helped Alabama basketball cruise to a win over a pesky South Florida team on Wednesday night in Coleman.
Nate Oats challenged his team to bring effort, particularly on the glass, in Wednesday night's matchup against South Florida. From the opening tip, the effort was there from the Crimson Tide.
Unfortunately, Alabama struggled to hit shots, connecting on just 38% from the field in the first half. The Tide took a seven-point lead into the locker room, but the Bulls cut the Alabama lead to just three early in the second half.
