Wrightsell’s 7 Threes, Bediako’s Return Lift No. 23 Alabama to 90–64 Win Over Missouri

Coach Nate Oats credited a wake-up call and sharper preparation for the course-correcting performance.

Overview

  • Alabama routed Missouri 90-64 in Tuscaloosa as Latrell Wrightsell Jr. hit seven 3-pointers for a season-high-tying 21 points, with Labaron Philon Jr. adding 18 and Aiden Sherrell 16.
  • Seven-foot center Charles Bediako started and posted 14 points and six rebounds while playing under a temporary restraining order after a judge delayed his NCAA eligibility hearing.
  • The Crimson Tide drilled 15 threes, shot 23-for-26 (89%) at the foul line, and recorded 19 assists, bouncing back from a low-output showing against Tennessee.
  • Alabama’s defense limited Missouri to 39% shooting, 4-for-21 from deep, and 8-for-23 at the line, marking the Tigers’ lowest SEC scoring output this season.
  • The win moved Alabama to 14-6 overall and 4-3 in the SEC, ended a recent home skid, and set up a Sunday trip to Florida with Amari Allen and three others still sidelined as Aden Holloway returned.
