Nate Oats Postgame Press Conference vs South Carolina | 4-Game SEC Win Streak, 12+ Threes

Описание: Alabama head coach Nate Oats meets with the media after the Crimson Tide’s SEC win vs South Carolina, extending the run to four straight conference wins. Oats breaks down what he liked—and what must improve—after the victory, including ball movement (20 assists), taking better care of the ball in the second half, and Alabama’s continued perimeter production with six straight games of 12+ made three-pointers.

Oats highlights the play of Alabama’s guard trio, noting Aiden Holloway and Labaron Philon continuing to shoot it well, and points to key bench energy from Houston and Wrightsell Jr. that helped steady the team after a slow start. He also discusses rebounding from London Jemison, roster health updates, and the areas Alabama must clean up moving forward.

Key topics from Coach Oats (postgame):
• 4 straight SEC wins and growth since the Florida game
• 20 assists / 12 turnovers and improved second-half ball security
• 6 straight games with 12+ made threes (Alabama shooting trending up)
• Aiden Holloway late-game confidence + 4–5 from three and clutch free throws
• Labaron Philon continued shooting success and year-to-year development
• Bench lift from Houston and Wrightsell Jr.
• Injury update: Taylor Bol Bowen leg injury, day-to-day, hope to return Wednesday
• Defensive critique: allowing Meechie Johnson to erupt for 24 in the second half
• Emphasis on defensive intensity for 40 minutes and “putting teams away”
