He shot 8-for-11 from the field to score 20 points, helping Alabama down Missouri, 72-61, to reach the SEC Tournament Championship game.

Miller tacked on 12 points, four assists, and one steal and block apiece while shooting 50 percent overall from beyond the arc.

Despite Indiana’s four-point loss to Penn State, senior Trayce Jackson-Davis capped off another strong performance as his Hoosier career winds down.

He scored 24 points on 11-for-14 shooting, grabbing 10 rebounds, dishing seven assists, nabbing one steal and sending one block. The 6-foot-9 forward is averaging 20.7 points, 10.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game this season.

Potential second round flyer Zach Edey continued his dominate collegiate season on Saturday, pouring on 32 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and a steal in No. 5 Purdue’s 14-point win over Ohio State.

Edey shot 12-for-25 from the field and an impressive 8-for-11 from the charity stripe to propel the Boilermakers to the Big Ten Championship.

Next, Edey and Purdue will look to make waves in the NCAA tournament.
