No. 4 Alabama went on a 16-4 run midway through the second half and an 11-0 run late to beat No. 15 Arkansas, 84-69, on Wednesday and stay unbeaten in the Southeastern Conference.
The Crimson Tide made 5 of 6 goals during the stretch in the middle of the second half while Arkansas was just 1 of 7 during Alabama’s run as a tie game turned into a 12-point Alabama lead.
“We’ve been good in tough games,” Alabama coach Nate Oats said. “I thought the loss to UConn really showed our guys if you’re not tough, you’re not going to be able to win these big games.” Mark Sears did most of the Crimson Tide’s offensive damage early and plenty late as he scored a game-high 26 points. Noah Clowney added 15 and Miller finished with 14 points.
Miller and Clowney, both freshmen, made all three of Alabama’s 3-pointers in the final run that built the Crimson Tide’s lead back to double digits.
