The Crimson Tide took control early on both sides of the ball to create a massive momentum boost.
Coming back from a loss is rarely an easy task. Coming back from loss by going on the road and defeating a premier Blue Blood college basketball program in dominant fashion is something very few teams can do.
Alabama's had a lot of positives and negatives throughout its 6-2 start to the season coming into this game, but turnovers and inconsistency on both sides of the ball have been two of the main cons. However, in game that needed to have both struggles turned around if the Crimson Tide had a shot at winning, Alabama prevailed, especially in the first half.
Alabama guard Latrell Wrightsell Jr. ruptured his Achilles last Saturday against Oregon, which led to head coach. Mallette, a transfer from Pepperdine now in his last year of eligibility, made the most of his first nearly three minutes on the floor in a crimson uniform, by making his lone three-point attempt and swiping two steals. He played a little more the rest of the night, making a noticeable impact all over the floor, but was naturally under a minutes restriction.
The start to the second half was more of the same as Alabama couldn't be stopped offensively and the Tar Heels held the ball for a while and turned the ball over far too often at times they couldn't afford to do so.
