Brandon Miller and Jahvon Quinerly led the Tide to victory, scoring 23 and 22 points, respectively. Millers’ big burst came in the 2nd half. He scored 15 points and hit a trio of 3-pointers after halftime to help stave off any potential Texas A&M comeback.
Quinerly was excellent in the 1st half. He scored 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting before the break, leading all players in scoring. Quinerly was also named MVP of Alabama’s 2021 SEC Tournament title game victory.
Alabama is expected to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament when the bracket is revealed on Sunday evening. The Crimson Tide have never been a No. 1 seed in program history prior to this season.
Alabama is in contention for the No. 1 overall seed. Kansas, widely considered to be the other top contender, lost to Texas in the Big 12 title game on Saturday.
The full bracket will be revealed on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. ET.
Roll Tide!
SEC goes through Oats and the Tide. Twice out of three years Bama has captured both SEC titles. Let’s go!
I read that that Oats was 0-3 against TAMU. Can anyone explain how they decide who you are going to play twice in a season, and who you will play once? I assume that every team plays the other at least once.
Not a word from Ron, Negan or Doug. Imagine that. I guess their obsession with Bama only goes so far.
Be patient. They’re sleeping right now after being up all night trolling.
