His record at Alabama is 200-125.
It was one of his easier wins, too. Senario Hillman scored 22 points, Alonzo Gee had 12 points and seven rebounds.
Darrell Burton led the Silverswords with 16.
Alabama (2-2) plays Wednesday at 1 p.m. CST against St. Joseph’s (2-2), which defeated Indiana 80-54. The game will be televised on ESPN2.
