Unreal 41 PTS for Brandon Miller last night in OT win at South Carolina. Been a wild week for Miller, but he showed his tremendous scoring ability, hot shooting, improved finishing, and unmatched confidence. Hit two clutch buckets late, too

It was an emotional game for Miller, who was dealing with the aftermath of his involvement in a Jan. 15 Tuscaloosa murder becoming public knowledge. According to court testimony, Miller transported the handgun that was allegedly used in the murder to former teammate Darius Miles. Miller’s attorney released a statement on Wednesday clarifying that he never handled the firearm and was unaware of Miles’ intentions.

Alabama will be in action again on Saturday at home against Arkansas.
