Yeah they did. I guess at least we aren't playing the worst team from the worst conference in basketball

I'm just saying it's dumb to waste our scrimmage on a SWAC school. Most schools use this game as a way to gauge where you're at. That's why I've been happy that we've played Belmont, Memphis, and Georgia Tech in recent years.

@GoodmanESPN

Alabama's Corban Collins and freshman Braxton Key both looked good in Crimson Tide closed scrimmage against Southern. Key showed versatility

Cecil had a follow up tweet where he said he wouldn't be surprised if Key starts. That'd be pretty impressive to beat out Norris and Hale

Tider Insider Scrimmage info:

All 3 of the bigs played good defense with Taylor getting 7 blocks. Bama (mainly Bola) out rebounded them, Collins and Ingram played good, we still can't shoot FTs, we scored 80+ and won the game

quote:

Alabama won, but since the game was played with occasional stoppages for instruction etc., no score or statistics were released.

Avery Johnson quotes: "It was a solid scrimmage. Jimmie (Taylor), Bola (Olaniyan) and Donta (Hall) anchored our defense. Jimmie had 7 blocks. We outrebounded them, so that was good because we've really worked on that. Bola has done a good job (on the boards) all preseason.

"Our free throw percentage has to improve. We struggled from the line."

"Corban (Collins), Dazon (Ingram) and Avery (Johnson) quarterbacked the team well from the point."

Johnson took the entire Southern staff out to dinner after the scrimmage.
