Alabama got a workout down in Tampa at a practice gym Wednesday (pictured). The Tide takes to The SEC Tournament Court tonight at around 7:00pm. Alabama is in the NCAA Tournament, but they are looking for a few things before they dance. Momentum. Hot shooting. Defense. Less turnovers. Not in that order. Nate Oats said Wednesday, Alabama gets instantly better when they find their defensive legs again. They’ll need it tonight, Vanderbilt scored 86 in their opening round win over Georgia and Scott Pippen, Jr is averaging 20 points per game. Its a good time to get hot and secure that 5-seed. – Jim Dunaway
