At one point, the Crimson Tide went on a 41-0 run in the victory
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama women's basketball team used a complete team effort that saw every Crimson Tide player who entered the game score at least one basket in its 105-16 exhibition win over Auburn-Montgomery on Sunday afternoon in Coleman Coliseum.
The Crimson Tide was led by sophomore Brittany Davis' 19 points, while senior Cierra Johnson also added 10 points in the win. Eight other UA players contributed at least five points. Alabama scored 41 straight points from the middle of the second quarter into the third quarter before allowing the Warhawks a basket.
From Coach Curry
- "It was good today to see a different colored jersey," head coach Kristy Curry. "Obviously, it's hard when you're going against yourself in practice day-after-day. As far as getting a lot of people minutes, I thought that was quality. To shoot 18-for-18 from the free throw line regardless of the situation is always a positive. We took some positives away; we'll take some clips away too that we need to continue to grow and improve. Overall it was just really good to be in a real game environment."
