One week into the 2017-18 basketball season and it's clear that this Alabama basketball team is simply different than any that we've seen in quite some time. Avery Johnson finally has the team he pictured when he first arrived in Tuscaloosa two and a half years ago. This team is fast, skilled, smart, and athletic as hell. The Crimson Tide's 86-64 victory over a decent Lipscomb squad wasn't without its flaws, but honestly, the whole game felt like a highlight reel.
Collin Sexton's game is a work of art. From his step-back jumper, to the fluidity of his drives, to his incredible court vision, he is everything he was advertised.
