Man, that was a tense game. If you didn’t read Parker’s preview of UT-Arlington here on RBR before the game, you might have been surprised that such a small-name school put up such a fight. But this was a 27-win team last year, with a starting lineup of mostly all returning juniors and seniors with a penchant for 3-point sharpshooting.
It seemed that Alabama’s basketball team didn’t read our preview either, as they came out listless as Kevin Hervey made shot after shot after shot after shot after shot. Seriously. I think he made his first 9 in a row or something like that, with most being 3 pointers.
