Timmons Returns to Lead Alabama Past Stetson 82–73 in Season Opener

Coach Kristy Curry set on-court communication as the next priority following a balanced, turnover-fueled finish.

Overview

  • Redshirt senior Jessica Timmons scored 21 points in her first regular-season game since a knee injury ended her 2023–24 campaign.
  • Six Crimson Tide players reached double figures, with Alancia Ramsey scoring 13 and Ta’Mia Scott, Diana Collins and Essence Cody adding 12 each, and Karly Weathers contributing 11.
  • Alabama produced 20 points off turnovers and converted 23 of 32 free throws, including an 8-for-9 performance by Timmons.
  • Curry criticized the team’s on-court communication and highlighted defensive consistency as an immediate focus after the back-and-forth contest.
  • Guard Ace Austin did not dress because of a quad injury and transfer Waiata Jennings did not play, as Alabama turns to a Thursday home game against McNeese State.
