TUSCALOOSA — Still 10 seconds from making it official, Andrew Steele and Anthony Grant shared a double-barreled high five. They were almost giggling.

A trying week of suspensions, injuries and consecutive losses included another plot twist for the Alabama basketball program Saturday afternoon. The physically overwhelming 62-50 win ended Tennessee’s four-game winning streak while energizing the shorthanded Crimson Tide.

Playing without three starters, Alabama (17-9, 6-6 SEC) demoralized the Vols with an aggressive backcourt and a retooled frontline. The Tide had a season-high 15 steals among the 17 Tennessee turnovers with Andrew Steele and Trevor Lacey combining for 11.

“We had a lot of fun out there and it was contagious when you see people playing so hard out there,” said a smiling Steele, who added a career-best seven assists and 10 points. “It kinda rubs off on everybody else.”

Who would have thought that by this point in conference play we would be giddy over an at-home win against a .500 UT?

The baseball team would take .500 about now.

:( We need to pay baseball players. Maybe just an ace pitching rotation. No probation trouble there yet. A CWS run would help a lot in killing time until August.

So far an ace pitching staff would not help. We are not hitting. We have scored 4 runs total in two games.
