The 20th ranked Crimson Tide basketball team welcomed the four time defending A-Sun Champs Liberty on Friday night and couldn't have treated them more rudely. The Tide ran away from the Flames by a score of 95-59. Ohio U transfer Mark Sears led four players in double figures with 22 points. Bama improved to 2-0 while Liberty dropped to 1-1 on the season.
The Tide was once again short handed with Jahvon Quinerly and Dom Welch still not available and Darius Miles on the bench wearing a boot on an injured foot/ankle. Coach Nate Oats sent out a starting five of Sears, Brandon Miller, Noah Clowney, Charles Bediako, and Nimari Burnett.
