The Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team broke their three game losing streak by beating 13th ranked LSU on Wednesday night in Tuscaloosa by a score of 70-67. The team's shooting woes got worse if anything, but effort, toughness, defense, and rebounding were on display in the thrilling victory after Nate Oats publicly challenged his team in that regard this week. Alabama improved to 12-6 overall and 3-3 in conference while LSU fell to 15-3, 3-3. The win was much needed and hopefully will propel the Tide on a winning streak. The Tide has now won five games in a row over Will Wade and his Tigers.
