South Alabama basketball finishes off tournament with 54-49 win over Saint Peter's

For the second straight Sunday, all of the NFL players with Alabama football roots stood during the pre-game performance of the national anthem.

Four players knelt, one sat and one stayed in the tunnel during "The Star-Spangled Banner" around the league on Sunday. Two of the teams that have most persistently protested during the national anthem -- the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks -- did not play on Sunday. San Francisco had an open date this week, and the Seahawks will play the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL's Monday night game.

One week ago, three NFL players knelt during the national anthem.
