It’s part of the gamesmanship, but at the end of the day, we did what we came out there and backed it up, got off to a little bit of a slow start, but at the end of the day, he made the plays down the stretch to help us win the game and help us survive another day.”The chatter traced back to Alabama’s 74-72 win in Nashville on Feb. 22, part of string of five wins in six games that had the Crimson Tide on a better trajectory. Ultimately, those brash words didn’t light enough of a fire to cost the Commodores -- an 82-76 winner Thursday -- but it was a long path to the postgame celebration.Pippen said he heard about the comments in the pregame warmups.“Before the game, one of the Bama coaches said that you asked for it, so you’re going to get it or something like that,” Pippen said afterward, “so it’s kind of good to get back at him and get the win.”Oats entered the postgame news conference room moments after the Vanderbilt delegation departed.“I didn’t know anything about that,” Oats said when asked about the possibility of a staffer saying something to Pippen. “Probably not something we want our assistants doing is talking to the other players before the game. “The other team wasn’t too excited I said that either, so it put a chip on their shoulder as well as a chip on ours because I had to back it up, the team had to back it up, so we knew it was going to be a fight tonight.“But obviously, it was good to get the win after saying that.”Michael Casagrande is a reporter for the Alabama Media Group.

He appealed for a foul on a 3-point shot before it reached the rim in the first half when Alabama’s lead reached 14 points.“I think our guys were a little, I don’t know if it’s tight, but we were -- (Alabama) came out, and they were aggressive,” Vanderbilt coach Jerry Stackhouse said. After leading Vanderbilt over Georgia on opening night at the SEC tournament, the hall of famer’s son was clearly amped for Alabama. Calling the Crimson Tide “beatable” and the team they wanted to see in Tampa was a message that didn’t take long to travel two blocks to the Alabama team hotel.
