With one of the best teams in Alabama basketball history (the ‘86-’87 squad) looking on, the modern day version of the Crimson Tide defeated the hapless Missouri Tigers 68-56 on Wednesday night in Coleman Coliseum. The 30 year reunion of the SEC regular season and tournament champions was well attended by most of the players and coaches, including current NC State coach Mark Gottfried. Derrick McKey, Jim Farmer, Craig Dudley, Terry Connor, Bill DeVaughn, J.J. Jackson and Keith Askins were among the players honored at halftime. The win pushed the Tide’s record to 11-6 overall and 4-1 in the SEC.
It wasn’t pretty, but the Tide got it done for their sixth win in the past seven games.
