A very disappointed Alabama head basketball coach, Kristy Curry, said, "We can't just win three quarters, and obviously it's how you finish. We just weren't able to put four quarters together. I thought we played three really solid quarters, but we just couldn't finish it off. We had eight fourth quarter turnovers with the inability to get to the free throw line. We weren't as aggressive as we needed to be taking care of the basketball, making shots and getting to the foul line and converting."
It was Bama junior Quanetria Bolton leading the Tide in scoring with 17 points, with junior Hannah Cook just one point back with 16 points. Bolton and sophomore Shaquera Wade both finished the game with a game-high seven rebounds apiece, while Wade contributed a game-best four assists. Sophomore Janiah McKay, who had 26 points, led the Tigers in scoring.
The Crimson Tide hit on 21-47 (44.7 percent) in the contest, while the Tigers were a little better with 26-56 (46.4 percent). Bama led the teams in rebounds 33-28, as well as blocks five to one. However, Alabama had 22 turnovers in the contest and was only able to get to the free throw stripe 11 times during the game.
Alabama will again take to the road, this time to face the LSU Tigers on Sunday. Game time is set for 3 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on the SEC Network.

In case the Arizona State thing sounds familiar, it's where former Bama quarterback Blake Barnett has transferred. Also, if you keep up with things happening on the Plains concerning Auburn football, this is where the new Auburn offensive coordinator, Chip Lindsey, hails.
Napier has been Alabama's wide receivers coach since 2013. He has personally been involved in helping to develop the likes of Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley and ArDarius Stewart.
Previously the quarterbacks coach at Colorado State University in 2012, Napier became an offensive analyst for the Tide in 2011 prior to being named wide receivers coach. He also served as offensive coordinator at Clemson in 2009 and 2010.
