Live Updates for Alabama Basketball's Road Matchup at Ole Miss

Alabama will play its 24th game of the regular season, and the 11th of SEC play, on Wednesday, Feb. 11, on the road against Ole Miss.

The Crimson Tide came into this past week ranked ninth in the SEC standings, as wins are starting to become a necessity for seeding in the conference tournament. Alabama proceeded to take down Texas A&M and Auburn by a combined seven points.

However, Alabama head coach Nate Oats and company remained outside of Monday's AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll. The Tide had the most votes outside of the AP Top 25 and the second-most votes outside of the Coaches Poll.

Alabama aims to build on this winning streak and return to the rankings, starting with a victory over Ole Miss head coach Chris Beard and company in Oxford, Miss.

TIMEOUT (7:45 2H): Alabama 62, Ole Miss 52: Latrell Wrightsell Jr., who missed the second half against Auburn following a first-half injury, has joined Alabama's scoring party as he's up to a team-high 15 points on 5 of 10 from deep.

TIMEOUT (11:21 2H): Alabama 51, Ole Miss 42: The threes are starting to fall for Alabama, as the Crimson Tide is 4-for-8 (was 5-for-23 in first half) near the midway point of the second half. That said, Alabama once led by 13 and the Rebels have taken notice.

First Half:

30-27: Alabama is finally starting to get a rhythm, as it takes its first lead since 6-5. Philon is up to nine points.

TIMEOUT (3:26 1H): Ole Miss 22, Alabama 20: This is certainly a game. Ole Miss has joined Alabama in the bad shooting party, as the Rebels have hit 1 of its last 13 shots. The Crimson Tide hasn't been any better, as it's 5 of 25 from the field, including 3 of 20 from deep.

TIMEOUT (7:19 1H): Ole Miss 20, Alabama 13: Alabama's shooting woes continue, as it's 4 of 19 from the field, including 2 of 14 from deep. Ole Miss' AJ Storr has the same amount points as the Crimson Tide.

Labaron Philon scored his first points for Alabama with 8:45 remaining in the first half. Philon and Aden Holloway, who average a combined 38 points per game, have taken three total shots thus far vs. Ole Miss.

Alabama forward Amari Allen went to the bench after committing his second foul with about 11 minutes remaining in the first half.

TIMEOUT (11:34 1H): Ole Miss 14, Alabama 11: Alabama has not shot well thus far. The Crimson Tide 3 of 14 from the field, including a 2-for-10 clip from downtown near the midway point of the first half.

Alabama guard Jalil Bethea made both of his free throws after checking in with 12:46 remaining in the first half. He hasn't play for Alabama since the Florida game on Feb. 1

TIMEOUT (15:54 1H): Alabama 6, Ole Miss 5: Not a great start for either team, as both Alabama and Ole Miss have combined for 4 makes in their first 14 attempts. The Rebels started up 5-0 before a 6-0 run by Alabama. Ole Miss hasn't scored in over three minutes.

Alabama had Aiden Sherrell and/or Charles Bediako on the floor at all times during Bediako's 5 games. But now that Bediako lost his injunction, UA's lineup without either big man:
G Labaron Philon
G Latrell Wrightsell Jr.
F Amari Allen
F London Jemison
F Taylor Bol Bowen

Aiden Sherrell gets the first points for Alabama via a putback layup. The Crimson Tide missed its first three shots before Sherrell's make.

Pregame:

Nate Oats on the CTSN pregame show: "It's nice to have our full roster, minus Charles [Bediako]. We anticipate Taylor [Bol Bowen] looking a lot better. [Latrell] Wrightsell wasn't able to play much in that Auburn game, hoping that as he gets warmed up he looks close to 100 percent. We've had a group of warriors all season."

Starting Lineups

Alabama
G Labaron Philon Jr.
G Aden Holloway
F London Jemison
F Amari Allen
F Aiden Sherrell

Ole Miss
G Koren Johnson
G Ilias Kamardine
G Eduardo Klafke
