Sharp shooting Alabama overwhelmed Mississippi State 111-73

Alabama shot the ball so well, the boys even turned them out of the cheap seats. Well, none of the players did that. But before the game, the President of Crimson Chaos, Andy Hayes, threw one from his headquarters in Coleman Coliseum and drained it. He says he tries this shot before every home game and this is the first time that he did it. If you believe in good signs now, you go.

On Tuesday evening against the state of Mississippi in Mississippi, the 6th ranking came out behind the arc and scored 11 out of 20 shots in the first half, 11 out of 25 from a distance in the second half. That is 22 out of 45 for the game. Alabama was 53-27 at halftime and won 111-73. That is 111 points a new high.

Chris Youngblood loves to play the bulldogs. In January he had his best performance in a purple tidal uniform at the 88-84 win of the Tide in Starkville and scored 23 points while scored seven three points. Tuesday evening he was at the top with 27 points and drilled seven Treys again in 11 attempts.

Mark Sears was also at the destination, scored 5 out of 12 behind the bow and scored 21 points. He also triggered 10 assists.

Seven different crimson tiders knocked down three points.

It was also a banner evening for the Tide defense. They forced 14 sales, found eight steals (Sears with three of them) and held the MSU to 38 percent of the shootout, 6 out of 30 from the 3-point range.

Now the question is whether the flood (23-5, 12-3 seconds) maintains this outstanding game until March and, as you hope, April. But at the moment you will switch on a super hard 3-game glove to close the regular season. It begins on Saturday in Knoxville against Tennessee in 5th place, which won 65-59 at the LSU on Tuesday evening. Wednesday at home against the third Florida, who lost 88-83 on Tuesday evening; And close with #1 Auburn, which defeated the flood at Coleman Coliseum on February 15.
