No. 2 Alabama (18-2, 8-0) remains undefeated in conference play with a hard-fought 66-63 win over Mississippi State (12-8, 1-7) in Coleman Coliseum on Wednesday night.
Alabama played the game without Seth McLaughlin, DJ Dale, Justin Eboigbe, Deontae Lawson, Jaheim Oatis and Kendrick Blackshire. The Tide hopes to get its roster healthy as it rolls into the BYE week.
Alabama takes on Mississippi State this weekend in an SEC West matchup that, in week one, was shaping up to be a solid game, but since has lost its luster.
