Sold-out crowd can't lift LSU to victory over Alabama: Final stats

In the battle of perhaps the SEC's best two freshman point guards, LSU and Tremont Waters couldn't handle Alabama and Collin Sexton.

The Tigers struggled from the floor against the Crimson Tide's length throughout the night and Alabama rolled to a 74-66 victory in front of a sold-out crowd at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Saturday night.

Sexton wasn't the leading scorer but his teammates picked up the slack and Alabama's defense suffocated the Tigers as LSU shot just 21-of-52 from the field (40.4 percent) and finished with 14 turnovers. The Tigers also shot 7-of-25 from 3-point range.
