Tide Plays Better and didn't fold...
Tide's big three led the way
Alabama could have folded in the second half. The Razorbacks had just taken a 47-45 lead and the Tide was starting to resemble those guys who had lost their previous four games. Instead, JayMychal Green became the Chairman of the Boards. Tony Mitchell showed some flashes of his old self, and Trevor Releford controlled the offense. It was just what the coach drew up on the "how to win a game board." More than anything else the Tide must have leadership from Releford and Green. Green got another one of those unnecessary purposeful fouls early on and had to sit.
The Arkansas lead was five points on five occasions in the first half but Alabama battled back to take a37 - 30 lead. Even though the Tide was rocked to its foundation in the second half they stuck to their game plan and pulled out the win. I would like to say it was a rock solid finish but when Bama was up by seven the Razorbacks knocked down a three and scored on a stolen in bound pass. Bingo. The lead was 2. To the Tide's credit they went down the floor and scored and put the finishing touches on a really good basketball game. Releford led the Crimson and White with 18 points. Green had a double-double and started pulling down rebounds when things that got tight in the second half.
We'll have a full report tomorrow.
