Alabama outlasted a relentless McNeese team on Monday, winning 72-64. The Crimson Tide got out to a 21-point lead at one point in the second half, but the Cowboys cut that deficit to 6 at multiple points. Alabama was led by Grant Nelson's 22 points, with Nelson scoring 5 of the Tide's final 7 points to seal the win. Mark Sears and Latrell Wrightsell Jr. put up 15 points each.
While Alabama always seemed to have a handle on the game against McNeese, Purdue had its hands full against defending Ivy League champion Yale on Monday. Still, the Boilermakers led much of the game, keeping the Bulldogs at arm's length, and ultimately prevailed, 92-84. 2024-25 Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year Braden Smith has stepped into the spotlight after the departure of two-time national Player of the Year Zach Edey. Smith led Purdue with 22 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals against Yale.
This is Alabama's first road test of the season. The Tide were one of the most lethal offensive teams in the country last season, thanks in large part to their fast-paced play style, but will be tested by Purdue's size, including 7-foot-2 center Will Berg.
