Alabama basketball earned another impressive victory away from home on Wednesday night, knocking off previously unbeaten and No. 8 Illinois, 90-86. It's the second win over a Top 10 opponent for the Crimson Tide in just four games. Alabama previously knocked off St. John's in Madison Square Garden before taking down the Illini at the United Center in Chicago.

After getting dominated on the glass by Purdue last Thursday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama battled back against an Illinois team that came in ranked among the best in the country in rebound rate.
