Alabama Women’s Basketball Set to Compete in The Bahamas This Week
The Alabama women's basketball team travels to Nassau, Bahamas for the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Championship this week.
Alabama enters the tournament with a 2-1 record with wins over Alabama A&M and Tulane. The Crimson Tide suffered its first loss of the season on Wednesday, as the USF Bulls escaped with a 67-59 win over the Tide in Tampa, Fla.
Graduate student Brittany Davis leads the Tide in scoring with 18.3 points per game. Davis scored 26 and 22 in the first two games, but was held to only five points in her last outing. Davis will have to be a key factor if the Tide looks to be successful in the Pink Flamingo Championship.
The Crimson Tide's first matchup comes against No. 25 Utah on Monday, Nov. 21 at 1:30 p.m. CST.
Utah enters the game with a 4-0 record with wins over Idaho, Utah Valley, Southeastern Louisiana, and No. 16 Oklahoma. The Utes handed the 16th-ranked Sooners its first loss of the season on Wednesday in Salt Lake City. Utah won in convincing fashion, 124-78, which put the entire women's basketball world on notice. The 124 points tied a program scoring record.
Five Utah players average double-figures in scoring including Alissa Pili (18.0), Kennady McQueen (15.8), Gianna Kneepkens (14.5), Jenna Johnson (12.8), and Isabel Palmer (12.3).
The Crimson Tide's next matchup comes against Wake Forest on Wednesday, Nov. 23 at 10:00 a.m. CST. The Demon Deacons are 3-1 on the season with the only loss coming to Virginia. Jewel Spear leads the Demon Deacons in scoring with 16.3 points per game.
Wake Forest will play against Missouri in its first round matchup on Monday, before facing off against the Crimson Tide.
