It was January 19th. The Alabama Crimson Tide were on a seven game winning streak, winning six straight in Southeastern Conference play after a confusing stretch of non-conference games. The Tide waltzed into Baton Rouge, looking to continue their dominant run led by their core mostly made up of non-freshmen.
Minutes in, Alabama had already knocked down multiple 3s when Joshua Primo — the lone freshman starter — joined in on the fun with a pull-up jumper from deep in transition. 20 seconds later, LSU forward Trendon Watford watched as he sank too low to get the necessary contest for the curling Primo while he drilled his second straight triple.
