JOHN ZENOR Associated Press BIRMINGHAM — Alabama buried Texas A&M-Corpus Christi under an early 3-point onslaught, launching the NCAA Tournament's top seed to a 96-75 first-round romp on Thursday even with star freshman Brandon Miller going scoreless.
“We’re making shots at a pretty high level," Alabama coach Nate Oats said."It’s nice to put up 96 without Brandon scoring any of them. He’s been nursing a groin injury. We want to play him limited minutes and were able to keep him under 20.” Miller hasn't been accused of any crime in the shooting, which led to capital murder charges against then-teammate Darius Miles and another man.
Coach Steve Lutz has lifted the Islanders to two straight NCAA Tournaments since taking over a team that had gone 5-19 the year before his arrival.“They should be very, very proud of themselves,” Lutz said.
