Latrell Wrightsell scored 21 points, all on 3-pointers, and Labaron Philon Jr. had 18 as No. 23 Alabama routed Missouri 90-64 on Tuesday night. Aiden Sherrell added 16 points and Charles Bediako had 14 for the Crimson Tide, who bounced back from their lowest-scoring output of the season with an efficient offensive showing, knocking down 15 shots from 3-point range and shooting 88% at the free-throw line.

Why it matters

Alabama's dominant performance over Missouri showcases the team's offensive firepower and ability to respond after a subpar outing. The Crimson Tide's strong shooting and balanced scoring attack proved too much for the Tigers, who struggled offensively and suffered their fourth loss in six games.

The details

Alabama debuted a new starting lineup with the 7-foot Bediako, who was allowed to play again after a judge delayed a hearing in his case. The Crimson Tide closed the first half on a 17-6 run to take a 42-29 halftime lead, and a 16-2 second-half run sparked by 12 points from Wrightsell gave Alabama a 70-46 advantage with 8:10 to play. Missouri was led by T.O. Barrett's 13 points and 11 from Mark Mitchell, but the Tigers shot just 39% from the field, including 19% on 3-pointers, and 35% at the foul line.
