Nate Oats exited Wednesday night’s Alabama-Mississippi State game early with 2 technical fouls. It seemed to work well for the Crimson Tide. Oats was tossed with UA trailing 58-57. Alabama defeated MSU 80-75, improving to 17-9 overall and 7-6 in SEC play. UA had 4 players in double figures, led by Jahvon Quinerly’s 21 points. Mississippi State’s Iverson Molinar led all scorers with 22 points.
Oats picked up 2 technical fouls less than a minute of game time apart. The second technical and ejection came at the 8:34 mark of the second half. Charlie Henry stepped in for the rest of the game.
