San Diego State vanquishes tournament's No. 1 overall seed, makes program and Mountain West Conference history
Alabama 7-footer Charles Bediako won the opening tip, and the Crimson Tide quickly found the 6-10 Clowney on the 6-4 Bradley on a screen and roll for an easy basket, foul and 3-point play. It took 11 seconds.That might have been the best thing that could have happened to the Aztecs, at least in the human nature department. The Crimson Tide, no doubt, figured this was gonna be easy.Alabama struggling to make 3s … check.Rock fight … check.
The Aztecs weren’t have much more success scoring, shooting 32.4 percent, but at least they’re used to these sorts of ugly games. Play in them all the time. They led for 9:01 of the first half to 6:40 by the favorites. The half turned with 5:17 left, Alabama up 19-16 and the pro-Tide crowd roaring after back-to-back baskets for the first time all game. Trammell missed a jumper, but Quinerly was whistled for a foul on the rebound. Then officials went to the video monitor and upgraded it to a flagrant foul.
That started a 12-4 run to end the half and give the Aztecs a 28-23 lead despite getting zero points from Lamont Butler and foul-plagued Bradley on a combined 0 of 7 shooting.SDSU emerged early from the extended NCAA Tournament halftime , out there shooting for several minutes before the Crimson Tide came through the tunnel. Coach Nate Oats’ halftime speech, uh, lecture was that long.
