Overview
- Latrell Wrightsell Jr., cleared after a right-knee scare at Auburn, tied his career high with seven 3-pointers and scored 21 in Oxford.
- Alabama improved to 17-7 (7-4 SEC) with a 61-point second half that turned a 32-30 halftime edge into a comfortable road win.
- A Tuscaloosa judge’s denial of a preliminary injunction kept former G League center Charles Bediako out, prompting Alabama to downsize its rotations.
- Taylor Bol Bowen was available as the Tide mixed smaller groups and still generated balanced production from Labaron Philon (18), Aiden Sherrell (15) and Amari Allen (13).
- The Tide extended Ole Miss’ skid to six straight, dominated late from deep and at the line (24-for-26 FT), and stabilized their SEC trajectory.
