The game, held at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, saw the home team Alabama Crimson Tide establish their superiority early on. By halftime, they had already amassed 43 points compared to Vanderbilt's mere 15. The second half only widened this gap as the Crimson Tide added another staggering 58 points to their tally. In contrast, despite an improved performance in the latter half with 29 points scored, it was not nearly enough for the Commodores.


The statistics from this encounter paint a clear picture of Alabama's commanding performance. The team shot an exceptional field goal percentage of 59 and were particularly lethal from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of around 46. Their two-point attempts were almost flawless as well; they made an astounding 85 percent of those shots.


Defensively, Alabama was just as formidable. They out-rebounded Vanderbilt by securing a total of 45 rebounds - including nine offensive boards - while limiting their opponents to just four team rebounds and overall thirty-three rebounds. Additionally, they capitalized on turnovers scoring twenty-seven points off them and showcased excellent ball movement with twenty-nine assists throughout the game.


On individual performances for Alabama Crimson Tide: every player contributed significantly but it was their collective effort that shone through – ten steals and three blocks underscored their defensive hustle.


Vanderbilt Commodores struggled offensively throughout; they managed only sixteen field goals on sixty-four attempts resulting in a lowly field goal percentage around twenty-five percent. From long range, things didn't fare much better as they hit just ten percent from three-point territory despite taking thirty shots.


Looking ahead for fans of the Alabama Crimson Tide: attention now turns to Baton Rouge where they will face LSU Tigers at Pete Maravich Assembly Center on February fourth at four PM Central Time (CT). This matchup can be viewed nationally on ESPNU channel two hundred eight for those eager to follow along live.
