The Tide’s John Petty & my niece Cassie

Alabama's John Petty and my niece Cassie, both incredible young basketball athletes captured in a Roll Tide moment.  Petty averages 14 points per game while Cassie hangs 18 per outing versus opponents.

Alabama and LSU will meet for the 179th time in program history tonite, with the Tide leading the all-time series, 107-71. The 179 meetings marks the second-most games played against any single opponent, while the 107 wins by the Crimson Tide ranks as the third-highest number for wins against an opponent.

Three Alabama players scored in double figures against the Volunteers, led by junior forward Donta Hall who collected his fifth double-double of the season, finishing with team highs of 17 points, 11 rebounds and three blocked shots. Freshman guard Collin Sexton added 16 points, five rebounds and four assists, while classmate John Petty added 14 points and four assists in the victory. #WildBillShow #RollTide #GoCassie
