The 4th-ranked Crimson Tide (16-3, 5-1 SEC) have more 100-point games than any team in the country this season after another high-octane showcase. Just last Saturday, Alabama put up 102 points in a victory at Kentucky, and the Crimson Tide were back at it on Tuesday, shooting 56% from the field against Vanderbilt (15-4, 3-3).
It was Alabama’s 3rd 100-point game in SEC play, with the Crimson Tide also scoring 107 earlier this season against Oklahoma.
Aden Holloway and Mouhamed Dioubate each scored 22 points to lead Alabama, and Mark Sears added 21 points and 7 assists on the same night he reached the 2,500-point plateau for his career.
Vanderbilt was led by Jason Edwards’ 21 points and Tyler Nickel, who scored 19. Devin McGlockton had 14 rebounds for the Commodores, who were held to 38.7% shooting by the Crimson Tide.
Alabama cruised to victory after taking a 48-31 lead at halftime, and it added 55 points in the second half to get to that 100-point plateau yet again.
The Crimson Tide will look to keep their momentum going on Saturday night when they host LSU.
