Nate Oats took his Alabama Crimson Tide basketball squad to Nashville for a road game against the Commodores of Vanderbilt on Tuesday evening and came out with his eighth win in SEC play on the year.
Alabama moves to 18-10 on the season including an 8-7 record in conference competition after the close 74-72 victory.
The Crimson Tide had to stave off a late push by the Commodores to come away with the close road win against a good team that came into this game with two consecutive solid wins against then-No. 1 Auburn and Texas A&M.
Alabama was led in scoring by Jahvon Quinerly, who finished the game with 19 points. Noah Gurley, JD Davison and Keon Ellis followed Quinerly in total points with 11, 10 and 10 respectively.
Davison also came down with nine rebounds to lead the Tide on the boards for the night.
Scotty Pippen jr led the Commodores with 26 points. He also tallied six assists in Vanderbilt’s eleventh loss on the year.
Next up for Alabama is a home game against South Carolina on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. CST.
