WATCH: Jaden Bradley caps off high-scoring Alabama first half with one-handed half-court shot
Alabama cannot miss against LSU. They head into the halftime locker room up 37 points and have been seeing nearly everything find the bottom of the net. It’s been so lopsided, ESPN’s Jimmy Dykes compared it to Monday’s national championship between Georgia and TCU.
Nearly every time down the court, Alabama has launched a three-pointer. Brandon Miller leads the way with 22 points but as a team, the Crimson Tide are 14-33 from behind the arc. None were as exciting as Jaden Bradley‘s as the clock expired.
Just crossing the midcourt line, Bradley decided to fire off a shot with under a second to go. With a defender on his tail, the freshman point guard jumped off one foot and only used his right hand. Banks in Tuscaloosa must be open on Saturday, as Bradley kissed it off the glass.
Because why not?
Ten different players have checked into the game for head coach Nate Oats. JUCO transfer Nick Pringle is the only one who hasn’t attempted a three-point shot. Thankfully for him, there are still 20 minutes of basketball remaining.

Alabama justifying ranking against LSU
Alabama was in a similar position a week ago, dominating Kentucky from start to finish at home. The AP poll rewarded the massive victory, moving the Crimson Tide up to No. 4 in the rankings. An Arkansas win followed this week and now, another impressive display against an SEC opponent.
A win would give Alabama sole possession of first place in the SEC thanks to a Tennessee loss earlier on Saturday. Oats has built one of the best rosters in the country and seems primed to make a deep run when we move into March. But for now, consistently dismantling conference foes will have to do.
