WHAT A GAME!! Alabama took all of LSU's best punches and it came down to getting a defensive stop and Alabama got it to secure it's first SEC Tournament title since 1991. Alabama got incredible effort from every player that stepped on the floor tonight and had four players score 13+ points. Jaden Shackelford stepped up huge in the 2nd half to finish with 21 and Herb and JQ were the catalyst as always. LSU was hitting some incredible shots all game and played pretty good defensively throughout, but Alabama's veteran leadership prevailed in the end. Alabama won the SEC regular season and Tournament title for the first time in quite sometime. The defensive effort was there all game but LSU was just hitting everything. Ellis scored 14, Herb had 13 and 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, Quinerly had 14, and Gary played 17 really tough minutes. It was an all around effort. Alabama shot its typical 33% from 3, but made 12 of them and won the battle of the paint outscoring LSU 40-36 despite Bruner being hobbled. It was an all around clean game with only 14 combined turnovers and 18 combined free throws and it turned out to be open of the best games I've watched all year!.
Alabama will now await it's fate this afternoon to see who they play in the first round as they are locked in as a 2 seed. WHAT A TIME TO BE AN ALABAMA BASKETBALL FAN!!!!
