Yesterday, Alabama cam e out firing early and often to ride a barrage of three pointers to a huge early lead. Unfortunately, the shooting woes we saw in the games leading up to postseason play returned with a vengeance. Even worse, the Tide turned the ball over nine times in the half, Jahvon Quinerly could get nothing going and seemed to get himself in the doghouse, Brandon Miller sat for ten minutes with two fouls, and Missouri made a ridiculous three-point heave at the buzzer while falling out of bounds.
All that, and the Tide still led by two because they are that much better than this Missouri squad.
