Herb was the spark.
We still need to learn to take charge when teams ramp up things late or throw a new defense at us. We have not played well late in many games when we have had big leads. LSU started driving the rim late and we had no real defensive answer. I was not feeling good about things when that started happening over-and-over.

Alabama picks up a nice win as they beat LSU 88-82. Kira Lewis Jr. led the Crimson Tide with 27, Jaden Shackelford had 26. The Tide have a favorable schedule closing the season, so they could move on the right side of the bubble very soon.

One game at a time and all that, but we are more than capable of running the table the rest of the way.

To be fair LSU is one of the best teams in the country in the last 5 minutes of the game, they have have came back from big deficits in the last 5 minutes all year and won most of them.
Great job by our guys withstanding it and being clutch the last couple of minutes.

We don't win that game without Herb's 16 rebounds, 6 points and 3 assists. He also had ton of blocks, charges taken and deflections and steals. Galin had 10 points, was 6-7 from the line and had 6 rebounds. Easily his best game. Kira and Shack carried us offensively but Herb was the difference in this one.

Watching Herb's growth has probably been my favorite part of this season

Just gotta win the 3 games we are suppose to at home, Split the Mississippi games, and either beat Missouri or win 1 in the SECt

When I saw Herb sink those two free throws with his off there was no doubt in my mind we were winning. I mean I never had any doubt to begin with but those free throws clinched it.

Hard Hat Herb should go down in the history books as the Bama player with the most heart. I know he was hurting out there

quote:
Kira Lewis Jr. scored 27 points, Jaden Shackelford had 26 and Alabama held off a big comeback attempt by No. 25 LSU for an 88-82 victory on Saturday.
The Crimson Tide (13-12, 6-6 Southeastern Conference) knocked the Tigers (18-7, 9-3) from a share of the league lead after blowing virtually all of an 18-point lead. Alabama also took No. 11 Auburn into overtime Wednesday night before losing.
LSU came into the day in a three-way tie for atop the SEC with Auburn and No. 12 Kentucky but has lost three of its last four games since an 8-0 league start.
Down 18 early in the second half, LSU made a big late surge. Trendon Watford scored on a drive and then Marlon Taylor stole Alabama's in-bounds pass and dished to Javonte Smart for a 3-pointer.
Herbert Jones, who had 17 rebounds, made two free throws, but the Tigers came right back. Skylar Mays buried a 3 to make it 79-78 with 1:32 left.
Finally, Alex Reese buried an open 3 from the top of the key with 39 seconds left and Shackelford added a layup off a turnover for a safe cushion.
Lewis made 4 of 6 3-pointers and scored 18 in the second half to remain hot. He followed a 37-point game against Georgia with a triple double in Auburn, the first of his career.
Likewise, Shackelford made five 3s after hitting seven and scoring 28 points against Auburn.
Skylar Mays had 24 points and nine rebounds in his third straight game scoring 20-plus. Trendon Watford, who's from nearby Birmingham, had 18 points despite a cascade of boos from Tide fans every time he touched the ball. Smart scored 16 and he and Mays both hit four 3s.
Emmitt Williams had 13 points and 10 rebounds.
The Tide took a 59-41 lead on a layup by Lewis with 14:08 left. Then he hit a pair of 3-pointers to upend LSU's 9-0 run that briefly cut the deficit to single digits.
Even that cozy lead evaporated. (more)
BIG PICTURE
LSU has given up at least 82 points in three of its last four games, losing all three. This one came against the nation's No. 2 scoring offense.
Alabama made 13 of 35 3-pointers after sinking an SEC-record 22 against Auburn. The Tide had lost four of its last five games, starting with a 90-76 defeat at LSU, but committed just nine turnovers.
HUDSON HONORED Former basketball star Wendell Hudson, Alabama's first African-American scholarship athlete, was honored at halftime. The jersey will be the school's first to be officially retired, though the No. 20 will remain in circulation. The winter sports teams will wear a WH patch for the rest of the season.

Alabama holds off LSU in another wild game. The Tide were in a must-win scenario, and they took care of business. Kira Lewis and Jaden Shackelford combine for 53 points. Herbert Jones adds a legendary performance of his own. Nate Oats’ squad is back in the NCAAT conversation.

17 rebounds with one hand is legendary. We’ll remember Herb now.

Yes. They were clutch.
Super exciting win, but let’s all remember that this is still a thin roster missing some important pieces. If we don’t do as well as we would like, let’s look forward to what our program can be.
The future is bright my friends.
