BamaCentral Courtside: No. 1 Alabama 82, No. 2 Texas A&M 63
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Alabama Crimson Tide has won the SEC double-crown for the second time in three years.
Led by a combined 45 points from Brandon Miller and Jahvon Quinerly, the Crimson Tide decimated the Texas A&M Aggies down the stretch to take home the 2023 SEC Tournament Championship — winning 82-63.
Alabama led by as much as 25 points. The Crimson Tide led by 11 at halftime. Alabama grabbed 21 offensive rebounds — and outrebounded the Aggies 50-37.
"It was a hard-fought contest," head coach Nate Oats said. "Hard to open the thing up. I mean, they're a tough, great team. We just lost to them eight days ago."
"Couldn't be happier for them. Bus ride home from Nashville will be a lot more fun now that we got a win. […] Love each of them. Excited to see what we can do with this group in the NCAA tournament."
