Alabama Basketball: Searching for form, Tide overcomes slow start

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports

Alabama Basketball: Crimson Tide ties school record 16 SEC wins after a slow start against Georgia.

The Georgia Bulldogs roared out to a 14-point lead before Nate Oats’ Alabama Basketball team got going. The Crimson Tide cut Georgia’s lead to six at the half and took an early second-half lead it never relinquished. The 89-79 Alabama Basketball victory pushed its SEC record to 16-2, tying the most SEC wins for Alabama ever.

While the Bulldogs were making half of their first-half threes, the Crimson Tide struggled outside the arc. The Tide took 12 first-half threes and made only two for 16.
