The Crimson Tide basketball team, coming off an exciting victory over number four Baylor on Saturday, couldn’t keep it going and got smashed by number one Auburn on Tuesday night in a road game. The Tigers bested the Tide 100-81 to improve to 21-1 and 9-0 in the SEC. Bama fell to 14-8 and 4-5.
Coach Nate Oats changed the starting lineup again with Juwan Gary joining Jahvon Quinerly, Keon Ellis, Jaden Shackelford, and Charles Bediako on the first five. The Tide jumped out to an early lead with Shackelford scoring eight quick points, but when the junior guard was called for his second foul with 13:44 left in the half he had to take a seat for a few minutes, and things started getting away from Bama.
