After losing ugly to Xavier in the opening game of the AdvoCare Invitational, Avery Johnson’s Crimson Tide rebounded to hand #20 Wichita State their second consecutive loss.
Starting for Alabama Basketball today were Dazon Ingram, Retin Obasohan, Arthur Edwards, Jimmie Taylor, and Shannon Hale.
Hale led all scorers with 20 points. Also in double digits for the Tide were Riley Norris (12) and Dazon Ingram (11).
Shooting 40.5% from the field and only 25% from 3-point range, Alabama held on to win by containing Wichita State’s star guard Ron Baker and relying on improved free throw shooting, including going 3-4 from the foul line in the last minute of play.
