In terms of the NCAA’s NET rankings, there is no debate about Alabama’s two biggest wins so far this season: both on the road at No. 1 Houston and No.
Between those two games, Alabama’s phenom freshman Brandon Miller has made a total of three shots.
“It’s hard to keep a player like him down for 40 minutes,” Tide coach Nate Oats said Friday. “You saw — he didn’t need much within a short amount of time at Arkansas. He broke that thing wide open.” But Miller has been held to less than 20 points in nine of Alabama’s past 11 games, with one of the exceptions coming Dec. 17 in Birmingham when he dropped 36 in a track-meet loss to Gonzaga. Miller attempted seven free-throws Wednesday night but his four field goal attempts in Fayetteville were a season low.“Arkansas did a great job just denying him catches everywhere,” Oats said. “Being physical with him, deny him the ball, switching him — if he’s a screener, teams have switched onto him.
Added another freshman, forward Noah Clowney on Miller: “He didn’t drop his head or nothing. He just kept moving, positive attitude. Nobody is going to stick to you for 40 minutes.”
