University of Alabama Crimson Tide women's head basketball coach Kristy Curry said, "We played a really good basketball team today. I have a lot of respect for Coach Foley and his program and have for years. They just make it really hard. They do a great job of shortening the game and really executing. We were fortunate down the stretch to get enough stops. Our energy in the third and the fourth quarter was completely different than the first two quarters. I'll go back and try to work on that these next couple of days. This was just a fun game for our fans, and I appreciate everybody that came out."
This was the second consecutive game that Bama junior Ashley Williams led the Tide in both scoring and rebounding, racking up 15 points and nine rebounds. Also scoring in double figures was UA sophomore Shaquera Wade pumping in 10 points. Lewis put up seven points and added five rebounds, three assists and three steals on the day, while fellow freshman Ashley Knight contributed eight points, seven rebounds and five blocks.
Little Rock (25-9) was led in scoring by senior Sharde' Collins with 20 points. It was Trojans senior Kaitlyn Pratt pulling down a game-high 10 rebounds.
Alabama hit on 21-of-60 (35.0 percent) from the floor, while Little Rock connected on 21-of-52 (40.4 percent. The Crimson Tide led the Trojans in rebounding 38-35, and held a 15-8 advantage on the offensive glass. Bama also outscored Little Rock from the three-point line 38-10.
The Crimson Tide will host the winner of the game between Tulane and Grambling State on this Thursday, March 23rd with a 7 p.m. CT scheduled start time.
Concerning the upcoming contest, Curry said, "We need a great crowd in here Thursday. We need for the Crimson Tide fans to get behind this team and be here for us at 7 on Thursday night."

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama – The Alabama Crimson Tide men's tennis team picked up a pair of wins on Sunday afternoon by defeating the LSU Tigers 6-1, as well as shutting down the Troy Trojans by a score of 4-1 at the Alabama Tennis Stadium. With these wins, UA men's tennis improves to an 8-11 overall record, 1-5 Southeastern Conference. Alabama picked up eight singles victories as well as four doubles wins yesterday. The win over LSU gives the Tide its first SEC victory of the season.
University of Alabama men's tennis head coach George Husack said, "Don't watch the clock, do what it does and keep going. That was the quote for the weekend. And the guys definitely kept going
today. It was a long one with a tasty carrot at the end. They have
taken a few learning lumps this season but they haven't lost their
spirit. I am very proud of their grit and we will get back to work after
a well deserved day off."

After just last week saying that University of Alabama football was still in the top echelon of schools for which he was interested in playing, five-star wide receiver prospect Terrace Marshall out of Bossier City, Louisiana now says that Bama is no longer in the mix. The 6'4", 190-pound speedster is saying that he's just "not feeling it," according to AL.com.
Marshall further commented that..."Coach (Billy) Napier left (for Arizona State), and I felt like everything went downhill and I never heard from them. I'm not going to beg anybody."
