Tide Roll over Georgia 90-69


HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) – The 4th ranked Alabama Men’s Basketball team extended its winning streak to five straight with a convincing 90-69 over Georgia in front of a sold out crowd inside Coleman Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.

Mark Sears collected his 13th game of 20 or more points this season, as he led the The Crimson Tide (19-3, 8-1 SEC) with a game high 20 points to go along with six assists and five boards. Grant Nelson secured his team-leading sixth double-double in the win, finishing with 16 points, 10 rebounds and a career high five blocks. Aiden Sherrell (12), Aden Holloway (10) and Chris Youngblood (10) also scored in double figures in the victory.

Georgia (15-7, 3-6 SEC) was led by Asa Newell, who scored 16 points on 6-of-15 shooting, to go along with seven rebounds.

“Unbelievable effort from our guys, really the effort we’ve been looking for outside of the start to the second half. You take that four minutes out, which I wasn’t really happy with that effort, but the other 36 minutes, I thought we played really hard,” Alabama Head Coach Nate Oats said postgame.

“Outrebounded a really good team by 16 and still scored 20 even though we had 20 turnovers. Now, we’ve got to fix the turnovers. Obviously, it’s a major problem, and 12 of those 20 were from three of our fifth-year seniors, which shouldn’t be the case, but I thought those guys kind of set the tone.”

Sources: Georgia State landing new defensive coordinator from ACC champs


Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.

McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.

It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.

While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.

He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.

A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.

He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
