Wrightsell’s 24 Points Propel Alabama to Stunning Sweet 16 Triumph Over Texas Tech—Can They Go All the Way?
Texas Tech, which had a school-record four wins over top-10-teams this season, struggled down the stretch after losing Toppin and simply had no answers for Alabama’s suffocating defense or the Crimson Tide’ speed.
The Red Raiders shot just 34.4% from the field, including 4 of 25 on 3-point attempts, and were outrebounded 47-35, with Alabama collecting 12 offensive rebounds alone in the first half.

Alabama only got nine points from Labaron Philon, Jr. after its leading scorer had 29 in a first-round win over Hofstra. But with Wrightsell making six 3-pointers and Mallette finishing with five, Alabama didn’t need any more scoring. Philon did lead his team with 12 assists.
