“I did see some guys break down postgame,' Alabama basketball coach Nate Oats said following a win over Vanderbilt Tuesday night. 'I think they were bottling some stuff up.' More from the first Alabama game following a murder charge against Darius Miles:
Miles was a veteran on this team but an injury and influx of young talent meant less playing time this season. After two weeks away to deal with a personal matter, the junior from Washington D.C. was back on the bench for Saturday’s win over LSU. He celebrated with the team in the locker room but just hours later, he was allegedly involved in the shooting death of 23-year-old Birmingham mother Jamea Jonae Harris.
“I think the guys need some time … a lot of time,” Oat said. “I mean, the guys have been using the resources from the school with the counselors and I think more of them will see some counselors tomorrow. It’s a hard situation pregame but I think they got themselves locked in and ready to go.” Alabama players took pictures and signed autographs with the large group of fans who stuck around outside the locker room after the game.
This is a team on a historic run, perhaps the most talented team in the program’s modern era, though the celebration was somewhat dulled on a strange Tuesday in Nashville during a week nobody involved can still fully comprehend.
