With his teammates urging him to shoot more, sophomore guard Trevor Lacey scored 17 points against South Carolina.

In a departure from nearly every other SEC game its played this season, Alabama came out firing, making six 3-pointers in the first half en route to a 68-58 home victory:

There was really alot of crisp ball movement tonght, far less standing around. I know SC worst team in the conference, but we looked better on offense than we have in awhile. The defense was aggressive as usual.

agreed, I was MUCH happier with the offensive effort. I can only hope it continues, but unfortunately, I have sincere doubts. Would love to be wrong.
GREAT effort from the young guys today. Saw great improvement at the FT line, and Nick Jacobs. Just a MUCH better game all around.

You'll have to clarify this for me....how is 18-33 great improvement at the ft line? Not trying to be mean, just curious.

FT shooting was horrendous. Other than that, they played really well.

well, if i'm not mistaken we shot less than 50% at the FT line last game, or maybe the one just before that. Incremental...

It's a rarely used French offensive set called the "ménage-a-three pointer"
It always gets em open

Agreed w/ ball movement statement. We did move it better but not sure why we stop at times. Let us also keep in mind that Steele was out w/ minor injury. He usually provides that spark and leadership that this team seems to miss at times.
Overall, I'll consider this a good win against a weak opponent.
