A great basketball game between Alabama and Houston on Saturday was ruined by what took place as the game ended.

The Crimson Tide won the game 83-82 after a late JD Davison bucket and controversial block that looked on replay as if could have been a goaltending call that would have given Houston the win.

As the final buzzer sounded. Houston coach Kelvin Sampson went after the referees about the non-call, leaving Alabama coach Nate Oats standing near mid-court with a smile on his face looking for a handshake.

Oats’ behavior as the game concluded drew criticism from former ESPN analyst and longtime college coach Dan Dakich, who tweeted Sunday morning, “Why is Nate Oats acting like a lil punk?”

Dakich has developed a reputation for his controversial takes as an analyst and radio personality, which played in a role in his being released by ESPN.

With the win Saturday night, Alabama is now 8-1 on the season. It has wins over Gonzaga and Houston in its last 2 games.

The Crimson Tide return to action with a road game at Memphis on Tuesday night.
