Any win on the road is a good win and this is a hard place to play. Traditionally, Coach [Joe Foley] has done a great job with his system and style of play. [Little Rock] likes to limit possessions and make it ugly. At the end of the day, our team found a way, especially in the third, to come out and get some buckets. I thought [Jessica Timmons] got going, we needed someone on the road to step up and make some plays, and I thought she had some toughness about her in the third. Good win for our program today."Alabama returns to action Nov. 24, opening play at the Betty Chancellor Classic in a game against Louisville at the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas |
