The Alabama Crimson Tide took to the road for the first time, traveling to Mobile to take on the South Alabama Jaguars, and won the game by a score of 65-55 despite poor shooting. The Tide rode outstanding defense and dominance on the boards to improve to 3-0 on the season. A pair of freshmen were the leaders as Brandon Miller was named player of the game and Noah Clowney garnered the hard hat award.
Coach Nate Oats stuck with the starting lineup of Miller, Clowney, Mark Sears, Charles Bediako, and Nimari Burnett for the contest. Miller got the Tide out of the gate quickly hitting an early three point shot and two free throws, and Bama never trailed in the game.
