Allen Triple-Double Leads Tide

The 20th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide got off to another cold start, didn’t shoot the ball well, and still scored in triple figures, defeating Arkansas State by a score of 101-86 on Friday night in Coleman Coliseum. Bama improved to 2-0 on the season while the Red Wolves fell to 1-1. Alabama sophomore guard Amari Allen notched the fifth triple-double in school history. Previously Roy Rogers had two games with double figures in points, rebounds, and blocked shots. Kira Lewis and Aaron Estrada both had traditional triple doubles with points, rebounds, and assists. Allen finished with 16 points. 13 rebounds, and 11 assists. The only blemish on the night for the Wisconsin native was a sprained ankle he suffered with just over two minutes left in the tame. Kentucky transfer center Brandon Garrison added a double-double for Bama with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
