00:0078-78 at the end of regulation. Which game are we talking about? It's the Alabama Crimson

00:07Tide and the Houston Cougars. That game ends up 85-80 wide, just running out of gas in

00:11the extra frame where the Houston Cougars only scoring two points at the Players' Era

00:16Festival. If we're looking at players that really stepped up here, it was Mark Sears.

00:19How about this? One of the better guards in the country comes off a performance in which

00:23his team won and he didn't score any points. Comes back with a vengeance in this one. Only

00:27four of 13 from the floor, but those four shots were made from three-point range and

00:3112 of 14 from the charity stripe for 24 points. L.J. Cryer countered with 30 points for the

00:38Houston Cougars, but it wasn't enough. I thought Houston would be the better team in this game.

00:41A little bit better defense, better three-point shooting so far, but credit the Alabama Crimson

00:45Tide hanging around long enough to force overtime and picked up the five-point win. Yeah, they're

00:50hanging around long enough and they just amount on the boards there as well. So correlate that

00:55with plenty of effort and plenty of points. The boys were absolutely yacking it up. There's

01:00Sears going for that 24 piece and L.J. Cryer, he was in his bag as well, but never a shortage

01:05of shots for this one for the Crimson Tide. This is another big performance in OT. I mean,

01:11these OTs, if you can get a couple of buckets, you likely didn't go on to win the game. So

01:15they take down number six in the nation, 85 to 80 Crimson Tide roll. Roll, Vama, roll.

01:21I mean, tell you what, Tony, they're looking better than that football team we saw last

01:25weekend.
