The Alabama Crimson Tide suffered a shocking 80-79 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament on Friday night.

was elite despite the loss, as Philon recorded an impressive 28 points against the Rebels. Here are three takeaways from Alabama’s SEC Tournament loss to Ole Miss. Labaron Philon Jr.
stays hot, records 28 points Philon was one of the only players who showed up offensively against the Rebels. The talented playmaker recorded 28 points on 9-of-16 shooting, as Philon has continued to play a massive role for the Tide on a nightly basis this season. The star sophomore had an opportunity to win the game during Alabama’s final possession of the contest, but Philon opted to feed the ball to Aiden Sherrell which ultimately led to the Tide losing the game.
Latrell Wrightsell struggles immensely, records 0 points Wrightsell had one of the worst shooting performances of the season against the Rebels in Nashville. The senior recorded 0 total points on 0-of-5 shooting, including an extremely underwhelming 0-of-4 from behind the arc. Wrightsell will need to turn things around during the NCAA Tournament, as the talented guard was horrendous against Ole Miss on Friday evening.
