Two games in two days was no problem for Alabama women's basketball. The Crimson Tide continued its historic start to the season with an 81-52 victory over Tulane to improve to 13-0.

"I’m proud of our team today," head coach Kristy Curry said after the game. "I loved our players’ approach. Today was our standard, and we just need to continue to build on that heading into our next game against a good Troy team who won at Old Dominion this morning and dropped 100 at Missouri. We have to continue to raise the standard as we move toward that game this weekend. It’s going to be a great test. We hope everybody will come out and support us. We’re really going to need a great crowd this weekend. I’m proud of our team - 20 assists on 27 made baskets and more made free throws at 14 than the 10 they shot. I just loved our ability to share the ball the way we did and found a way to rebound the ball - it’s just all the little things. Especially through the adversity of having some injuries.”

Jessica Timmons led Alabama in scoring with 18 points but four of the Crimson Tide's five starters finished in double digits. Redshirt sophomore forward Naomi Jones recorded her first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Next up for the Crimson Tide is an in-state matchup with Troy (10-1) on Sunday at 2 p.m. inside Coleman Coliseum.
