Tide's Season Ends on Last Second Shot
What a heartbreaking way to end a season. The Alabama basketball team made some mistakes on Tuesday night, mostly turnovers and on the defensive end, but played hard enough to win. Unfortunately, it just didn't happen in a 89-87 loss in Amherst, MA on Tuesday night.
Mikhail Riley’s 3-point shot forced an overtime as regulation expired, but Massachusetts’ Chris Lowe hit a leaning jump shot with one second remaining in overtime to lift the Minutemen the win.
Alabama had tied the game with nine seconds remaining in overtime on a Demetrius Jemison putback but Lowe was able to drive into the lane and score the game-winner.
The Tide was led by Riley's 24 points, sophomore Brandon Hollinger's career high 19 points, and sophomore Alonzo Gee added 14 for Alabama. UMass was led by Stephane Lasme who finished with 21 points and 9 blocks on the night.
While Alabama ends a disappointing season with the record of 20-12, the good news is that Jermareo Davidson is the lone senior on the squad. Hopefully, with the abundance of young talent, next season will be more memorable than this one.
