E96 S1 BH Alabama UTSA Game Instant Reaction

Bama wins over UTSA 97 to 55. Tonight was Jalil Bethea’s coming out party. Bama dominated the whole game as Bama led 56-17 at half and cruised to a 97-55 win. Biggest story of tonight is Jalil Bethea’s coming out party and showing he is the real deal and gives Bama another wing weapon to go with Labaron Philon The Stats Bama had five players in double figures Jalil Bethea had 21 pts, 6 rebs, 2 assists, and 2 steals in 22 mins Philon had 20 pts, 7 rebs, 6 assists, and 4 steals London Jemison had another great game with 20 pts, 2 rebs, and 2 steals Amari Allen had 11 pts, 10 rebs, 4 assists, and 2 steals Latrell Wrightsell had 10 pts, 3 rebs, 4 assists, and 1 steal Aiden Sherrill had 11 rebs and 3 blocks as he was a defensive force in 20 mins Highlights Philon and Bethea will make a great 1-2 combo Sherrill is a defensive force on the boards and as a shot-blocker Allen and Jemison are real contributers as freshman Nice to Wrightsell playing healthy and contributing Issues Aden Holloway sat out with an injured wrist Keitenn Bristow sat out with an ankle injury TBB sat out with an injury Need to get them both healthy. Need Bristow as another interior presence and need TBB’s shot-blocking and 3-pt shooting since we don’t have much front-court depth. Noah Williamson is still not an impact player. He didn’t have an impact during his limited playing time in this game. Alabama is now 7-2 on the season. Next up for Bama is a game against Arizona on Saturday, Dec 13 at 8.30 pm. Bama has a break to get healthy before the remaining December slate of games.
