BOX SCORE BREAKDOWN: Alabama basketball stat leaders from 109-92 road win at LSU

A look at the Alabama stat leaders from the 109-92 win over LSU in Baton Rouge

After suffering its second loss of the SEC schedule on Wednesday night, [autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team once again hit the road on Saturday to take on the LSU Tigers.

It was much of the same for the Tide on Saturday morning as the Alabama offense poured in 109 points but the defense was still a major question mark as the Tide allowed 92 points to the Tigers.

Alabama had five players score in double digits against LSU, led by senior guard Mark Sears who totaled 23 points. Nick Pringle put together his best performance of season, dropping 17 points off of the bench.

Below is a breakdown of the Alabama box score:

Alabama takes down LSU 109-92

Alabama basketball earns an impressive bounce-back win on the road over LSU.

After a rough road loss to Auburn, Alabama bounces back with a win over LSU in Baton Rouge. The final score was 109-92, but it does not tell the full story.

The first half was relatively close, with over a dozen lead changes before the teams came back out for the second 20 minutes. The Crimson Tide pulled away in the second half, leading by as many as 11, but the Tigers came back.

After a brief time with the lead, LSU lost it and the wheels fell off.

The Tide had five players score 15 or more points, with Mark Sears scoring 23 and Latrell Wrightsell scoring 21.

Alabama now has a record 9-2 in the SEC and 17-7 overall. The team’s next game will be against Texas A&M at home.

Alabama at LSU: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for Saturday’s game

Where will you be watching from?

[autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team will look to get back in the win column on Saturday when they travel to Baton Rouge to take on Matt McMahon and the LSU Tigers.

Alabama is currently in a logjam at the top of the SEC standings and securing a road victory over the Tigers would be a big step in the right direction for potentially retaking the conference lead.

Winning on the road is never easy and Coach Oats has challenged his team to be better defensively, including his star player, Mark Sears.

“And honestly, we need Mark to play better defense. Like we’re not going to be able to win at the level we’re used to winning at around here if he’s not better for us on defense. But we do need some guys to step up and help him out on offense a little bit more.”

Below is all the information you need for Saturday’s matchup between Alabama and LSU, including the broadcast guide, injury report, and projected starting lineups.

Alabama basketball dominates LSU on Saturday night!

How to watch Saturday night’s SEC matchup between Alabama and LSU

[autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] and the Alabama men’s basketball team are coming off an emotionally hard-fought victory over Auburn on Wednesday night and will now have to quickly shift their focus to the LSU Tigers on Saturday night.

For Coach Oats and Alabama, it is an opportunity to remain atop the SEC standings and continue its push for yet another SEC regular season title.

On Thursday, Coach Oats previewed the matchup with LSU, what he is hoping to see from his team on Saturday, and what it will take to compete for an SEC championship.

“If we’re going to try to compete for the league championship, you’ve got to win home games,” Oats said. “Our guys can’t be up and down. We can’t play really hard against Auburn because it’s a rivalry game and then not play as hard because we got that win.

“We’ve got to fight complacency in that regard because we haven’t proved that we can do it consistently, two halves, over a long stretch, which is what it’s going to take to win the league.”

Below, you will find all the information you need for Saturday’s matchup between Alabama and LSU including broadcast guide, injury report, and projected starting lineups.

LSU in NBA: Duop Reath scores career high in Trail Blazers win

Duop Reath scored a career-high 25 points in the win over the Kings on Tuesday.

Former LSU center [autotag]Duop Reath[/autotag] is currently on a two-way contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, but he’s making a case to stick around in the franchise’s long term plans.

He’s appeared in 20 games this season, making four starts, and he’s coming off a career-high in points with 25 in a win over the Sacramento Kings. He also totaled seven rebounds, a steal and a block.

Reath has spent most of his professional career overseas or in the G League since going undrafted in 2018, and the South Sudan-born Australian was a two-year starter with the Tigers. He’s now getting his chance at the big time, and he’s making the most of it.

On the year, Reath is averaging 8.3 points and 3.1 rebounds.

NEW: Transfer Jalen Cook expected to make LSU debut Saturday vs. Texas

Jalen Cook will finally make his long-awaited return to LSU.

The long-awaited return of [autotag]Jalen Cook[/autotag] has finally arrived.

LSU head basketball coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] said that he expects Cook will be available to make his debut with the Tigers this Saturday against Texas.

This decision comes on the heels of a restraining order placed on the NCAA stating that for the next 14 days, any athlete who has transferred multiple times will become immediately eligible. Cook fits that mold as he started at LSU before transferring to Tulane and then back to LSU.

The Tigers need him in a bad way offensively. LSU has scored only 57 points and 60 points in their last two big games. That will not get the job done in SEC play. For a team that did not win a conference game last season, LSU must find a way to score.
