“Any great player will take [Sunday] as motivation, no matter who we play tomorrow,” senior Briana Hutchen said.
Alabama coach Kristy Curry said she has seen many of her younger players step up. Freshmen Hannah Cook and Meoshonti Knight combined with sophomore Ashley Williams have scored most of Alabama’s points so far this season. Curry said she wants more contribution from her older players and Hutchen has been one of the only upperclassman to contribute, averaging 6.9 points per game and 6.8 rebounds per game.
“She is doing everything she possible can to put her team in a position to be successful every day,” she said. “Great energy on her part. I have to compliment her.”
Alabama will be playing in Tuscaloosa for the entire month of December and the Crimson Tide will not leave for a game until after the Jan. 2 Kentucky game. After the eight game stretch, Alabama will have only seven home tilts left.
