Tuscaloosa, Ala. - Following Alabama's 80-73 victory over LSU Saturday night, Tigers' head coach Matt McMahon took time in his press conference to mention and praise Alabama guard Aden Holloway.

"Holloway puts so much pressure on your defense. He's one of the best shooters in the country," said McMahon, "He doesn't need much time or space, so he really stretches you with his ability to shoot the three from deep."
Holloway led the charge for the Crimson Tide Saturday evening, leading the team in scoring with 19 while adding on four rebounds and two steals.

The Auburn transfer has emerged as one of the Crimson Tide's best players this season, averaging 11.4 points a night while shooting 41.3% from deep, a team-high for the season.

Prior to tonight, Holloway was shooting 63.8% from the field in conference play, leading the league.

Holloway will look to continue his elite play Wednesday evening in Starkville when the Tide take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
