Six years ago today junior Herbert Jones achieved legendary status in the annals of Alabama Men’s Basketball history as his grittiness and spirit helped propel the Crimson Tide to an 88-82 victory over the No. 25 LSU Tigers in Coleman Coliseum on Feb. 15, 2020. Just two weeks after...

𝐍𝐨. 𝟕 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝟕𝟖, 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝟓𝟐 Date: Jan. 7, 2023 Impact/History: Largest margin of victory by the Crimson Tide over the Wildcats Where: Tuscaloosa (Coleman Coliseum) If victories over two different No. 1-ranked teams before SEC play even started had not been enough to grab the attention of college basketball, Alabama Men’s Basketball made another emphatic statement with a historical drubbing of the Kentucky Wildcats in front of a rabid sellout crowd in Coleman Coliseum. In his fourth season at the Capstone, Nate Oats led the Crimson Tide to its largest margin of victory against the Wildcats in a lopsided 78-52 dismantling that had Kentucky head coach John Calipari calling a timeout in the opening two minutes. “The crowd was unbelievable,” Oats said. “Students aren’t in school until Wednesday, the first day of class, so for them to show up and support us like they did was great. “We’re trying to put a program and product out there that everyone is proud to support, and they definitely supported us tonight, so I just want to thank everybody for that.” The 26-point walloping edged the previous best in program history which occurred in 1990 when Alabama throttled Kentucky 83-58. Alabama opened the game on a quick 6-0 run that had sophomore center Charles Bediako putting the reigning national player of the year, Oscar Tshiebwe, in the torture chamber. The fast start by the Crimson Tide infuriated Calipari so much he had to call a timeout just 2 minutes and eight seconds into the game. Brandon Miller led Alabama with 19 points and seven rebounds, while Mark Sears had 16 points, six rebounds and four assists. Jahvon Quinerly had 12 points and Bediako finished with nine points, six rebounds and two blocks. “I can’t say enough about our guys and how hard they played on defense and how locked in to the scouting report they were,” Oats said. “I thought Sears was unbelievable. I thought Charles was great on Tshiebwe.” Alabama led 35-24 at halftime and opened the second half on a 13-3 run to push the margin to 48-27. At one point the advantage reached 31 points. Tshiebwe struggled against the size of Bediako and finished with just four points and six rebounds.

While Coleman Coliseum has become a punching bag when fans list antiquated college basketball venues, there are still times the “hangar” can produce an intimidating and hostile environment like seven years ago in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. No. 12 Oklahoma led by freshman sensation Trae Young entered into a raucous 15,000-plus White Out crowd that helped propel Alabama Men’s Basketball to an 80-73 upset on Jan. 26, 2018. Young entered the game as the nation’s leading scorer with a 27-point average, but Alabama countered with its freshmen duo of Collin Sexton and Herbert Jones. Sexton led the Crimson Tide with 18 points, while Jones held Young to just 17 points and scored 14 points of his own. Sophomore Braxton Key added 11 points. Junior Donta Hall blocked a career-high eight shots while grabbing seven rebounds and scoring nine points. After jumping out to a 41-35 halftime lead, Alabama watched Oklahoma fight back and take a 60-55 lead midway through the second half. However, the Crimson Tide answered with a 13-0 run that included a dunk by Hall and pair of three-pointers from Key for a 68-60 advantage it would never relinquish.

Five years ago today Alabama Men’s Basketball changed forever. What unfolded on the night of Jan. 19, 2021 in Baton Rouge, La., wasn’t just a road win or a hot-shooting performance. It became the moment the rest of the SEC realized the Crimson Tide had entered a new era, one that would permanently alter the program’s trajectory. Under Nate Oats, the modern identity of Alabama basketball announced itself inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Alabama demolished LSU, 105–75, setting a SEC record with 23 made three-pointers, a seismic shift that echoed far beyond the final buzzer. When a program ascends, fans can pinpoint the exact second when everything changed. For Alabama, the seminal moment had arrived. Bamalytics, Blue Collar basketball, layups, free throws and threes weaponized into a relentless, modern offensive system that the league wasn’t prepared to stop. “The 2021 team was really special,” Bryan Passink, the color analyst for Crimson Tide Sports Network, told Tide Hoops History. “Alabama fans knew we were good and everyone enjoyed our style of play, but that night in Baton Rouge, it all came together in a huge way. “We hoped it was a sign of things to come, and it absolutely was. Banners, championships, rings and long tournament runs were all to follow.” John Petty Jr. led the avalanche with 24 points, drilling 8-of-10 from deep. Jahvon Quinerly and freshman Joshua Primo each knocked down six threes and finished with 22 points, while Herbert Jones added 13. Alabama stormed out to a 60–32 halftime lead and at one point buried eight consecutive three-pointers in the first half. Which brings us to this question for our followers: Should Jan. 19 be celebrated as a Nate Oats holiday for the Alabama basketball nation? A day to remember the night the SEC record book burned, the blueprint revealed and Alabama basketball officially became something it had never been before.

(Pete Maravich Assembly Center) When an athlete or program ascends to a heightened level of success, fans can identify in a nanosecond that seminal moment in history when everyone realized things will never be the same. For the current Alabama Men’s Basketball era under Nate Oats, that seismic shift occurred on Jan. 19, 2021, inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, La., when the Crimson Tide unleashed an offensive barrage that set the SEC record for most made three-pointers with 23. In the wake of Alabama’s 105-75 thrashing of the Tigers, the rest of the SEC took notice. Bamalytics, Blue Collar basketball, layups, free throws and three-pointers had become the instruments of disruption. “The 2021 team was really special,” Crimson Tide Sports Network analyst Bryan Passink told Tide Hoops History. “Alabama fans knew we were good and everyone enjoyed our style of play, but that night in Baton Rouge, it all came together in a huge way.” John Petty Jr. led the scoring spree with a game-high 24 points that included a blistering 8-of-10 performance from beyond the arc. Transfer Jahvon Quinerly and freshman Joshua Primo each made six three-pointers and finished with 22 points apiece. Herbert Jones followed with 13 points. Behind the hot hand of Petty, Alabama built a commanding 60-32 halftime lead and at one point made eight consecutive three-pointers in the first half. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Passink and his longtime media partner Chris Stewart had to broadcast the game remotely from Baumhower’s restaurant in Birmingham. With a partisan Alabama crowd inside the restaurant, the sounds of cheering every time the Crimson Tide scored confused the radio audience because the game was in Baton Rouge. “We hoped it was a sign of things to come, and it absolutely was,” Passink said. “Banners, championships, rings and long tournament runs were all to follow.”

Three years ago today Alabama Men’s Basketball delivered one of the most unforgettable nights in Coleman Coliseum history and secured another championship. Down 17 points with just more than 10 minutes to play, the No. 2-ranked Crimson Tide stormed back to defeat arch-rival Auburn 90-85 in overtime, clinching its second SEC regular-season title in three years on March 1, 2023. In a rivalry that never lacks drama, this one felt destined to live forever. Alabama trailed 66-49 before flipping the game completely, outscoring the Tigers 26-9 the rest of regulation to force overtime, then winning the extra period 15-10. The victory secured a 16-1 SEC mark and capped a perfect 15-0 season at home — the program’s first undefeated run inside Coleman Coliseum since 2010-11. Jahvon Quinerly came off the bench with 24 points and six assists, while Brandon Miller, Mark Sears and Noah Clowney added 17 apiece. The Tide’s core accounted for 75 of the team’s 90 points in a championship-clinching performance. Afterward, Nate Oats summed up the night perfectly: “To be down 17 with just over 10 minutes to go in the game and come back to win, I couldn’t be prouder of our guys.” It wasn’t just a rivalry win. It was a sweep of the in-state rival. It was an undefeated home season. That’s how championships are defined and banners hung.

One of the most underrated and athletic players in Alabama Men’s Basketball history celebrates his 58th birthday today as we remember David Benoit, born May 9, 1968, in Lafayette, La. The 6-foot-8 forward played two seasons for Wimp Sanderson after joining the Crimson Tide from Tyler (Texas) Junior College and becoming an integral part of the Alabama frontcourt. One of his most memorable moments occurred on March 18, 1990, when Benoit scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as Alabama upset No. 2-seed Arizona in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Despite not being selected in the 1990 NBA Draft, he signed a free-agent contract with the Utah Jazz after spending one season in Spain. Benoit seized the opportunity and played five years for the Jazz and later had stints with the New Jersey Nets and Orlando Magic. Known for his athleticism and grit, Benoit finished fourth in the 1993 NBA Slam Dunk contest. His best NBA season occurred in 1995 when he averaged 10.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and shot 84.1 percent from the free-throw line for the Jazz.

On this date 43 years ago, Alabama Men’s Basketball delivered one of the most emotional and historic wins in program history, stunning No. 1 UCLA 70–67 inside Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles on Jan. 28, 1983 — a victory that still echoes across Crimson Tide lore. The teams played just hours after the burial of legendary Alabama Football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, who died two days earlier on Jan. 26, 1983. What should have been just another showdown of two top college basketball teams instead became a moment of statewide catharsis and pride. Head coach Wimp Sanderson led his team after receiving encouragement from the Bryant family to still play the game. Wearing black memorial patches on its uniforms, the Crimson Tide took the floor carrying the weight of grief — and the determination to honor a legend. Alabama never trailed and even built a 16-point lead before UCLA stormed back to tie the game late. But in the closing seconds, Mike Davis and Buck Johnson knocked down three clutch free throws to seal one of the greatest road wins in program history. Bobby Lee Hurt led the Tide with 23 points, while Ennis Whatley added 20, giving Alabama the firepower to outlast college basketball’s most iconic program on its home floor. Years later on a Tide Hoops History podcast, Ennis Whatley called the win one of the defining moments of his career, saying it was “a high accomplishment for me, for our team and for the state of Alabama” during a time of profound emotion. Though the 1982-83 season would later unravel in SEC play, this night remains immortal — and Sanderson still stands as the only Alabama head coach with a winning record against No. 1 teams — forever tied to a victory that honored Bear Bryant in the most powerful way possible.

ON THIS DAY three years ago, No. 1 seed Virginia Tech opened the third quarter of the Final Four with a 17–7 run to take a 51–39 lead over the LSU. But consecutive baskets from Angel Reese shifted the momentum and changed the trajectory of the game. Those two baskets ignited a 35–13 LSU run. Reese played a major role in nearly half of those points—scoring 14 herself, forcing a steal that led to the free throw that tied the game at 62–62, and creating two second-chance points off an offensive rebound. The 6’3 forward finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds, and that 35–13 surge turned a 51–39 third-quarter deficit into a 79–72 victory, sending the Tigers to the program’s only NCAA championship game appearance. 🪄

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

On this date 21 years ago, Alabama Men’s Basketball stunned the nation when the Crimson Tide rallied from a 13-point deficit in the second half to upset No. 1-seeded Stanford, 70-67, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Seattle on March 20, 2004. Kennedy Winston scored 21 points for the No. 8-seeded Crimson Tide, which made 10 of 14 free throws in the final minutes to secure the victory in the West Regional. Led by Pac-10 Player of the Year Josh Childress, the Cardinal entered the game with an impressive 30-1 record and with 7:40 remaining in the second half had built a comfortable 53-40 lead, before Alabama mounted its incredible comeback with a 16-0 run. Earnest Shelton helped spark the Crimson Tide rally and finished with 14 points, while Chuck Davis and Antoine Pettway each had 12 points. Childress scored 12 points for the top-seeded team in the Phoenix (West) Region but fouled out with 3:18 left and watched the final minutes in dismay from the end of the Stanford bench. “They weren’t overrated. We were underrated,” read a sign in the Alabama locker room. The shocking victory earned a “Sports Illustrated” cover the following week and propelled the Crimson Tide, coached by Mark Gottfried, to its first Sweet Sixteen appearance since 1991.

The largest second-half deficit a team has overcome to win in the women’s Final Four since 2002 is 12 points. Three teams have done it, and one of them was LSU—driven in large part by Angel Reese. After trailing by 12 with roughly 15 minutes remaining, Reese took control. She scored 14 points over the next 14 minutes—the most by any player during that stretch—and accounted for 40% of LSU’s remaining points. Her steal that led to a made free throw tied the game with six minutes left and sparked a 15–0 run that secured the win for the Tigers. LSU advanced to the national championship game for the first time in program history—and won their first national title there as well. ✨

Six years ago today a small plane landed at the Tuscaloosa National Airport and Alabama Men’s Basketball has never been the same. Three days after the announcement that Avery Johnson and Alabama had agreed to part ways, Greg Byrne flew to Buffalo, N.Y., on March 27, 2019, and returned that Wednesday afternoon with Nathanael Justin Oats and his family. While the introductory press conference did not occur until the following day, Nate Oats had arrived in Tuscaloosa as the 21st head basketball coach for the Crimson Tide.

Just 13 years ago today Alabama Football handed Auburn its worst loss in the Iron Bowl since 1948 when the No. 2-ranked Crimson Tide shut out the Tigers, 49-0, on Nov. 24, 2012 inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. In a master class of offensive efficiency, Alabama scored touchdowns on its first seven possessions before emptying the bench with substitutions. The victory clinched the SEC Western Division title as the Crimson Tide beat Georgia in Atlanta and Notre Dame for the national championship. Quarterback AJ McCarron completed 15 of 21 passes for 216 yards and four touchdowns, running back Eddie Lacy rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns and receiver Amari Cooper caught five passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns in the offensive onslaught. Robert Lester had five tackles and an interception to lead an Alabama defense that forced three fumbles, intercepted two passes and had two sacks. Auburn finished with just 163 yards of total offense (92 rushing, 71 passing) and seven first downs. Prior to the 49-point romp in Tuscaloosa, the largest margin of victory by the Crimson Tide over its in-state nemesis occurred on Dec. 4, 1948 in a 55-0 thrashing in Birmingham.

The Warriors are so depleted and so desperate for bodies on the court that Malevy Leons (who’s right-handed) is shooting left-handed free throws after injuring his wrist a week ago. "Just trying to aim at the basket and hope and pray that it goes in." STEVE KERR: "He's out there basically playing with one hand."
