In their 88-79 victory over Arkansas State, Alabama showcased resilience and adaptability. Key takeaways include their strong three-point shooting, going 13-of-31 from beyond the arc, led by contributions from players like Mouhamed Dioubate and Jarin Stevenson. Guard play was a highlight, with Mark Sears and Aaron Estrada combining for impactful performances. The bench also made notable contributions, with Davin Cosby Jr. providing a spark during a tight stretch in the game. Defensive lapses, however, remain an area for improvement before tougher matchups.
