Vanderbilt's loss on Wednesday night was a boost for Alabama Basketball. A win over Oklahoma would have the Tide in a good position before five tough games in late January and early February.
Last Saturday, Texas inflicted a disappointing home loss on Alabama Basketball. Wednesday night, the Longhorns made amends unintentionally. In a game that was tight until Texas finished on a 19-9 run, the Longhorns beat Vanderbilt 80-64. After four conference games, the SEC has five teams with one loss in SEC play and seven more teams with two losses.
