Following Wednesday night’s matchup, Alabama head coach Nate Oats provided an update on the status of Crimson Tide forward Nick Pringle.
“He’s currently suspended. He’s got to decide whether he wants to be part of this program or not. Some of his decisions, how he conducts himself. Nothing bad off the court or anything like that but in practice, in games.”
Pringle has played in 19 games this season. He has made starts in 11 of the 19 contests that he has appeared in. Pringle averages 5.2 points per game in 15.7 minutes per game.
His best game of the season came against No. 8-ranked Creighton. Pringle scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds on the night.
Pringle is most productive as a rebounder and rim protector. Alabama has one true center on the roster without Pringle. That is junior Mohamed Wague. Therefore, Pringle’s presence in Alabama’s frontcourt is welcomed. However, as Oats pointed out, it is unclear what Pringle’s status will be moving forward.
