There’s no way to dress it up – Alabama Basketball’s 80–48 loss on the road against Dayton on Tuesday afternoon was tough to watch.
Despite hanging with the Flyers for the better part of the first half, the Crimson Tide found themselves in a 40–24 hole at halftime and the rest is pretty much history.
Dayton struggled to find their stroke early, especially from outside, but when they did Alabama had no answer.
Avery Johnson stressed during his press conference on Monday that scheduling a tough, early season non-conference opponent like Dayton on the road was a very strategic move.
