The Alabama men’s basketball team fell in a gut-wrenching loss to No. 8 Creighton on Saturday night. The Bluejays defeated the Crimson Tide by a final score of 85-82.
Alabama has now lost two consecutive games against No. 4 Purdue and No. 8 Creighton. This marks the first time that Alabama has lost two games in a row since the 2021-22 season.
It was a game that was decided in the paint. Both teams combined to make 10 three-pointers. Alabama got in a lot of foul trouble early and was never able to stay out of its own way in that department.
Creighton came away with the win, but Alabama made them earn it. The Crimson Tide will return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Phoenix to take on Arizona. Tip-off is set for 11:00 EST / 10:00 CST.
