First of all, what a game! We as fans were treated to March basketball in December on Saturday night. The 9th ranked Crimson Tide and the 14th ranked Houston Cougars went blow for blow in a game that wasn't decided until the final second had ticked off the clock. The Cougars, fresh off a final four appearance last year are a veteran, physical, well coached team that gave Nate Oats’ bunch all they could handle. Bama won the slugfest by a score of 83-82 when Houston could not score on the game’s last possession. The Tide improved to 8-1 while the Cougars fell to 8-2.
