‘Bama Basketball Breakdown and Game Thread: Providence

Winning cures what ails any program, and the Crimson Tide certainly took a spoonful of some good medicine last night. With the shots finally falling, Alabama got a much-needed 86-74 victory against UNLV, advancing them to the 5th Place game against the Providence Friars (2-1) today. Providence, for its part, staved off a big come-back from Davidson right before the Tide tipped off with the Rebels to set-up the match-up.

There were definitely still a number of issues with Alabama’s play last night - it’s not going to be fixed overnight - but the team definitely showed much more heart and enthusiasm than they did in the second half against Stanford on Monday.
