BATON ROUGE, La. | There is little doubt that LSU forward Ben Simmons will be the first pick in the next NBA draft.

Whether he was the best player on the court Wednesday night was a different question.

Alabama's Retin Obasohan poured in a career-high 35 points as the University of Alabama basketball team won its fifth straight SEC basketball game in a row, the third straight on the road, upsetting league-leading LSU 76-69 at the Maravich Assembly Center.

Crimson Tide sophomore Justin Coleman added 21 points as UA gradually pulled away from the homestanding Tigers in the second half.
