Three things may be learned from Alabama women’s basketball (22-8, 9-6 SEC) vs Florida women’s basketball (14-12, 5-10):
Cunningham gives Alabama key first-half minutes Senior center JeAnna Cunningham gave Alabama a major offensive boost in the first half.
Cunningham scored eight points in eight minutes of play, going 3-for-3 from the floor, in addition to five rebounds and a block, to lead the Crimson Tide to halftime.
As the SEC and NCAA playoffs get near, Alabama will continue to rely significantly on more moments like this one from Cunningham off the bench, as Naomi Jones is out for the remainder of the season.
On senior night, four seniors from Alabama score in double figures.
For the second straight game, the Crimson Tide were able to score a lot, as four players recorded double-digit totals.
On their senior nights, Alabama’s Sarah Ashlee Barker, Loyal McQueen, Aaliyah Nye, and JeAnna Cunningham all scored double figures.
“Playing here on senior night was incredible. I used to joke with my parents that a few years ago, I would have called them insane if they had told me that I would be walking out here on senior day, but I am really fortunate. Barker said of her senior year as a whole, “God puts us where he needs us always, and just understanding that God’s plan is always the best plan and just all the glory goes to Him.”
Alabama triumphs in the final game of the home season.
Alabama defeated Florida in its final game of the season at Coleman Coliseum on Thursday.
The Crimson Tide concludes the campaign with a 15-3 home record, which is the best since coach Kristy Curry took over, thanks to victories against Auburn and Tennessee.
If Alabama defeats Texas A&M on Sunday in the season finale, they appear to be in the driver’s seat for a top-four seed in the SEC tournament.
