TL/DR
Alabama shot better, defended a tad better, and rebounded better in defeating Oregon 99-91 to claim third place in the Emerald Beach Classic on Saturday afternoon. Mark Sears led the team to victory with his 27-point day.
Mo Wague was very productive in limited relief off the bench, and appeared a steady post option for Nick Pringle, who has struggled early this season. Alabama was never really threatened for most of the game, and was able to clear the bench for much of the contest. And though the offense bounced back from a desultory showing against the Buckeyes, the defense still has much work ahead of it.
