Alabama Basketball: Crimson Tide lost a close game to Western Kentucky Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa. Check out what happened and why.
For the Alabama basketball team, Western Kentucky proved too much. The Hilltoppers, now 6-2, are a good team with a possible NBA first-round selection in Center, Charles Bassey.
Bassey had his way with the Crimson Tide, scoring 27 points on 11-for-14 shooting while adding 12 rebounds. Points-in-the-paint favored WKU, who poured in 42, while the Crimson Tide scored 28. Herbert Jones and Jordan Bruner led All Alabama basketball scorers with 16 and 14 points.
