Alabama’s Record-Setting Three-Point Night Powers Rout of Oakland

Alabama opened a 56-29 halftime lead and never let Oakland back into contention, improving to 3-0 with a 109-68 win on November 9. The Crimson Tide made 24 three-pointers, a program record for a regular-season game, and scored 72 points from beyond the arc. Forty-six of its 62 shots were three-point attempts.

Guard Aden Holloway appeared for the first time this season after completing a five-game ban stemming from a March drug-related arrest, with the charges subsequently dropped. He scored 12 points, making four of his eight shots, all from three-point range. Two of his baskets came in the closing moments before halftime.

London Jemison was perfect from the field, making all seven attempts, including six three-pointers, for 20 points. Amari Allen added 14 points and six assists. Alabama hit 20 of 30 attempts before halftime, with 11 of 21 coming from beyond the arc.

Oakland cut the margin to 27 points with a nine-point run in the second half, but Tarris Bouie’s three-pointer later pushed Alabama’s lead to 40. Freshman Anderson Diaz made three three-pointers during the closing moments. Nassim Mashhour led Oakland with 18 points, while Chris Fields Jr. had 15 points and 13 rebounds.

Alabama hosts Seton Hall on Friday. Oakland travels to Idaho to play Boise State on Wednesday.
