Alabama basketball did what it was supposed to Saturday in Tuscaloosa, blowing out Georgia 90-69. The Crimson Tide, the No. 4 team in the country, is heading into its bye week, and the big win over the unranked Bulldogs could be a momentum-builder moving forward.

Alabama basketball's Mark Sears wasn't the only one to have a bounce-back game as the Tide had a shootout with Mississippi State's Josh Hubbard.

Mississippi State basketball suffered another loss to a top-10 team, but one of the positives that emerged was Josh Hubbard, who scored 38 points.
