Alabama marches victoriously to the SEC Quarterfinals after beating Ole Miss 62-57. Before this game, a lot of people were questioning whether Alabama Head Coach Avery Johnson was a good coach or not. After leading Alabama to a second half comeback, I hope nobody doubts him any more. I knew he was a great coach. If he weren’t, then he wouldn’t have won the NBA Coach of the Year award in 2006. When a coach who has won the NBA Coach of the Year award goes to your favorite college basketball team, you should be happy, not waiting for him to be fired.
The Tide’s comeback was sparked by Tevin Mack’s 21-points. Mack kept Alabama in the game by scoring 9-points in the first half. He then helped lead Alabama in the second half by scoring 13-points.
Alabama will play Kentucky tomorrow at 12pm CT.
