The Alabama Crimson Tide played shorthanded in their season opener on Tuesday, but still defeated the Southern University Jaguars by a comfortable score of 82-62. Dazon Ingram was out with a sprained ankle, Riley Norris is out after having a heart ablation recently. Freshman Javian Davis-Fleming has a sprained knee and is day to day, and fellow freshman Dionte Wood is out for the season after having ankle surgery.
Coach Avery Johnson’s alma mater from Baton Rouge put up a fight all night, but were just over matched, over talented, and out sized.
