So, how’d last game go?

Not especially well. The Tide were once again without Shannon Hale, and got off to a slow, ugly start against an opponent that they should have blown off the floor. They never really got better from the field, hitting their last field goal of regulation with 12 minutes to go in the game. Jacksonville State was not much better, but they kept it close enough to where the Tide needed to hit several free throws down the stretch to stay in the game.
